It is but fair to say that Darwin himself soon began to have doubts about the universal efficacy of natural selection. Just before the publication of the Origin of Species his faith in it was so strong that he believed a slight adaptive variation in a single trait would turn the scale in favor of survival. But as early as 1862 he had begun to waver, and by 1865 he talked increasingly of the direct action of the environment and of use and disuse as factors of change. Successive editions of the Origin of Species tried to coordinate these doubts and shifts of opinion.
