. . . Darwin correctly deduced the process in “on the Origin of Species,’ using the new idiom of natural selection:

Trees would be little likely to reach distant oceanic islands; and in herbaceous plant, though it would have no chance of successfully competing in stature with fully developed tree, when established on an island and having to complete with herbaceous plant alone, might readily gain an advantage by growing taller and taller and overtopping the other plants. If so, natural selection would often tend to add to the stature of herbaceous plants when growing on an island, to whatever order they belonged, and this convert them first into bushes and ultimately into trees. ~ Page 239 Except “Biophilia” - E. O. Wilson, author
