THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES

THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION OR THE PRESERVATION OF FAVOURED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE

By : CHARLES DARWIN

The classic text on the theory of evolution by natural selection which laid down the foundation of evolutionary biology.

In 1859, Charles Darwin outlined his theory of evolution in The Origin of Species.

Darwin's argument that species had been evolving and differentiating over time under the influence of natural selection revolutionized scientific thought; shook the very foundations of existing philosophical and religious thought; and remains controversial even today. 

Delightfully readable, this epochal work is the key to understand the evolution of mankind.
