In 187o, although he was secretly See also:writing verses already, See also:Jacobsen definitely adopted botany as a profession . He was sent by a scientific See also:body in Copenhagen to See also:report on the See also:flora of the islands of Anholt and Lasd . About this See also:time the discoveries of See also:Darwin began to exercise a See also:fascination over him, and finding them little understood in See also:Denmark, he translated into Danish The Origin of See also:Species and The Descent of See also:Man .
