On the Origin of Species
Book • 2004
Published on November 24, 1859, 'On the Origin of Species' by Charles Darwin is a seminal work in scientific literature.
The book presents a comprehensive theory of evolution, arguing that species evolve over generations through the process of natural selection.
Darwin supported his theory with evidence collected during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, as well as from subsequent research, correspondence, and experimentation.
The book addresses the struggle for existence, the variability of species, and the principle of divergence, explaining how natural selection leads to the adaptation and diversification of life on Earth.
It has been a cornerstone of evolutionary biology and has had significant impacts on both scientific and public discourse[2][4][5].
