On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859) is a magnificent work, the foundation of evolutionary biology, and a turning point in the history of science. This book convincingly and clearly explained how all these amazingly diverse species and forms of living beings, so exquisitely adapted to their environments, arose.

Based on years of profound research, the English scientist, explorer, and naturalist Charles Darwin offers a scientific explanation for the diversity of species, demonstrating their descent from common ancestors. He was one of the first to identify the driving forces of the evolutionary process—variability and natural selection. Using numerous examples, Darwin demonstrates in detail and graphically how traits beneficial to survival are fixed in living organisms.

It is difficult to imagine the tectonic shift that the publication of this work caused in a world confident in the supernatural origin of life. This book irreversibly changed not only the natural sciences but also philosophy, psychology, and social outlook, and has become a treasure trove of human thought.
