The Origin of SpeciesBoD - Books on Demand, 11 февр. 2024 г. - Всего страниц: 668 "The Origin of Species" is a groundbreaking work written by Charles Darwin. The full title of the book is "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life." First published in 1859, this work is considered one of the most influential scientific books ever written. In "The Origin of Species," Charles Darwin presents the theory of evolution by natural selection. He outlines the idea that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over successive generations, these traits become more prevalent in the population. Darwin's work revolutionized the understanding of the diversity of life on Earth and had profound implications for biology, paleontology, and other related fields. "The Origin of Species" remains a cornerstone of modern evolutionary biology, and its ideas have had a profound and lasting impact on scientific thought. |
