Darwin's origin of the species

Book •
In 'On the Origin of Species', Charles Darwin introduces his theory of evolution by natural selection, challenging prevailing beliefs about the creation of life.

The book meticulously presents evidence gathered from Darwin's observations during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, including the unique adaptations of species on the Galápagos Islands.

Darwin argues that species evolve over time through a process of gradual modification, driven by the struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest.

He explains how individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to their offspring.

This revolutionary work laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology and transformed our understanding of the natural world.
