Origin of Species: Preservation of Favoured Races
Category: origins book
Charles Darwin introduces his theory of evolution and the process of natural selection in this groundbreaking scientific study. The seminal work, first published in 1859 as "On the Origin of Species," laid the foundation for modern biology and natural science. Darwin's scientific study of natural selection illustrates his evolutionary theory and the interconnectedness of heritable variation in the evolution of humans, animals, and plant life.
Written with non-specialist readers in mind, the book reached a wide audience and by the 1870s, Darwin's theory of evolution was widely accepted as fact within the scientific community. "On the Origin of Species" includes Darwin's own sketches of evolution, supporting his theory with abstracts of experiments and research.
The chapters in the volume cover topics including 'Variation Under Domestication,' 'Variation Under Nature,' 'Struggle for Existence,' 'Natural Selection,' and 'Laws of Variation.' This key scientific text has been republished by Read & Co. Books, with a specially commissioned biography of the author, ensuring its preservation for future generations. Essential reading for anyone interested in the groundbreaking work of Charles Darwin and the study of evolutionary history.
