Infos

"On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection," commonly referred to as "On the Origin of Species," is a groundbreaking work by Charles Darwin that fundamentally transformed the field of biology. Published in 1859, this meticulous study presents the theory of evolution, positing that species change over time through a process of natural selection. Darwin argues that organisms best adapted to their environment have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. Over successive generations, these advantageous traits become more prevalent within a population. Drawing upon evidence from his observations, particularly those made during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, Darwin challenges the then-prevailing views of a static, unchanging world. His revolutionary ideas faced both acclaim and criticism, igniting debates that continue to resonate today. "On the Origin of Species" is not just a cornerstone of evolutionary biology but also a pivotal work in the annals of scientific literature.
