1899 The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Publishers' Original Binding
The sixth edition, fifty-sixth thousand.
Illustrated with a folding chart.
'On the Origin of Species' is one of the most influential works on science ever published, this work considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology, and thus caused controversy upon its publication. To this day, it remains one of the most important biological works ever published.
The work introduces Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and was written for a general audience.
Some of the evidence Darwin gives in this work comes from his research from his voyages on the H.M.S. Beagle, and the ideas that were hinted at in his work 'The Voyage of the Beagle'.
