The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection

The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection

«The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection» (1859) — a great work, the foundation of evolutionary biology and one of the turning points in the history of science. This book convincingly and visually explains how all these remarkably... diverse species and forms of living beings, so expertly adapted to their environment, came into existence.
The English naturalist, traveler, and naturalist Charles Darwin, based on many years of deep research, offers a scientific explanation for the diversity of species, proving their origin from common ancestors. The scientist was one of the first to define the driving forces of the evolutionary process — variability and natural selection. Darwin shows in detail and visually, with numerous examples, how beneficial traits for survival are fixed in living organisms.
It is now difficult to imagine what a tectonic shift the publication of this work caused in a world convinced of the supernatural origin of life. This book irrevocably changed not only the natural sciences but also philosophy, psychology, and public worldview, and it has entered the golden fund of human thought.
