On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

Charles Darwin   

visão geral

Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought and belief: no being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task.
Yet
(1859) is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness, revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical environment, and—by implication—within the human world.
Written for the general reader, in a style which combines the rigour of science with the subtlety of literature,
remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.
