Description
Charles Darwin's classic that exploded into public controversy, revolutionised the course of science, and continues to transform our views of the world.
Few other books have created such a lasting storm of controversy as The Origin of Species. Darwin's theory that species derive from other species by a gradual evolutionary process and that the average level of each species is heightened by the "survival of the fittest" stirred up popular debate to fever pitch. Its acceptance revolutionised the course of science.
As Sir Julian Huxley, the noted biologist, points out in his illuminating introduction, the importance of Darwin's contribution to modern scientific knowledge is almost impossible to evaluate—"a truly great book, one which can still be read with profit by professional biologist."
Includes an introduction by Sir Julian Huxley.

The Origin of Species is highly celebrated for its profound influence on scientific and philosophical thought, often regarded as pivotal as religious texts like the Bible. Darwin is praised for his genius and significant intellectual contributions, prompting reconsideration of prevailing scientific doctrines. Even after 150 years, it remains a seminal and authoritative work on evolutionary theory.

About the Author
Charles Robert Darwinwas born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. At Cambridge University he formed a friendship with J. S. Henslow, a professor of botany, and that association, along with his enthusiasm for collecting beetles, led to "a burning zeal," as he wrote in hisAutobiography, for the natural sciences. A voyage to the Southern Hemisphere on the H.M.S.Beaglebetween 1831 and 1836 would lay the foundation forThe Origin of Species, publishedin 1859. His other works includeThe Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex(1871) andRecollections of My Mind and Character, also titledAutobiography(1887). Charles Darwin'sDiary of the Voyage of the H.M.S. Beaglewas published posthumously in 1933.
