On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin, first published in 1859, is a seminal work in the field of biology that introduced the theory of evolution. In this book, Darwin argued that species evolve over time through a process of natural selection, where organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Drawing on observations from his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, particularly in the Galápagos Islands, Darwin provided evidence from the fossil record, geographical distribution, and comparative anatomy to support his theory. The Origin of Species challenged traditional views on creation and has since become a cornerstone of modern biology, influencing our understanding of life's diversity and the mechanisms behind species adaptation and change.

About Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was a British naturalist and biologist best known for his groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection. His work revolutionized the biological sciences and reshaped our understanding of life on Earth. Darwin's most famous work, On the Origin of Species (1859), presented extensive evidence for evolution and proposed that species adapt over time through the process of natural selection. His observations during the voyage of the HMS Beagle, particularly in the Galápagos Islands, contributed significantly to his theories. Despite initial controversy, Darwin's ideas became foundational in the fields of biology and genetics, making him one of the most influential scientists in history.
