On the Origin of Species

About this book

On the Origin of Species (1859) is legendary naturalist Charles Darwin's groundbreaking and foundational study that birthed the theory of evolutionary biology.

Sparking controversy from the time of its publication to the present day, Darwin’s theory of natural selection, where upon individuals of the same species have a more robust chance of survival thanks to their unique combination of physical characteristics, completely changed how the world viewed human history. Although rich with information, Darwin was determined in his writing to reach an audience that extended beyond seasoned biologists, making his work accessible and thought-provoking for people of all backgrounds. Accompanying his groundbreaking theories are his own renderings of evolution and abstracts for the various experiments that lead him to his conclusions.
