The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man Hardcover By Charles Darwin

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, published on 11/24/1859, is at the foundation of evolutionary biology. For the 6th edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. It introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations thru a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent thru a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence he'd gathered during the 1830s Beagle expedition & his subsequent findings from research, correspondence & experimentation.
