Excerpt from The Origin of Species Charles Darwin
1 I must here introduce a short digression. In the case of animals and plants with separated sexes, it is of course obvious that
two individuals must always unite for each birth; but in the case of hermaphrodites this is far from obvious. Nevertheless there
is reason to believe that with all hermaphrodites, two individuals, either occasionally, or habitually, concur for the reproduction
of their kind. This view was long ago doubtfully suggested by Sprengel, Knight, and Kolreuter. We shall presently see its
importance; but I must here treat the subject with extreme brevity, though I have the materials prepared for an ample
discussion.
What is the meaning of the word digression as used in the first sentence?
es -))
A)
a movement away from the main path on a journey or quest
B)
a deflection from the main goal of an individual or group
C)
a deviation from a previously normal or established routine
D)
a message that departs from the main subject of a written work
