The Origin of Species - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Considered to the be the foundation of modern evolutionary biology, The Origin of Species is a work of scientific literature written by Charles Darwin and published in 1859. In the book Darwin explores the scientific theory of how populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection; otherwise known as ‘survival of the fittest’. "Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations."

Darwin’s work gained widespread popularity as it was written for everyone including non-specialists to read. As such, the theory quickly became the subject of public controversy as it revolutionized the course of science and began important theological discussions. Darwin’s findings were extremely influential to the scientific community at the time of publication, and today they remain some of the foundational principles of evolutionary biology.
