On the origin of species by means of natural selection: a quick read edition
Or, the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life
Quick Read, Charles Darwin
Résumé
"On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin was a groundbreaking book that presented the theory of evolution through natural selection. Published in the mid-19th century, it challenged the prevailing beliefs of the time that species were fixed and created by God. Darwin argued that species evolved over time through a process of adaptation and survival of the fittest. The book faced initial resistance from the scientific establishment, which was closely tied to the Church of England. However, within two decades, there was widespread acceptance of evolution among scientists. Darwin's theory was based on observations of the natural world, including the fossil record and geographical distribution of species. The book also addressed objections to the theory, such as the lack of intermediate forms and the complexity of certain organs. Despite initial controversy, "On the Origin of Species" had a profound impact on the scientific community and paved the way for further research in the field of evolutionary biology.
