Description

"The Origin of Species: 150th Anniversary Edition" by Charles Darwin is a seminal work in the field of biology that introduces the theory of evolution by natural selection. First published in 1859, the book presents evidence from Darwin's extensive research and observations that species evolve over time through a process of variation and natural selection. Darwin argues that individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to future generations. This groundbreaking work challenged contemporary beliefs about the creation and diversity of life, laying the foundation for modern evolutionary biology. The 150th Anniversary Edition includes additional commentary and historical context, highlighting the enduring significance of Darwin's ideas.
