Focusing on the fundamentals of organic chemistry, this book demystifies the subject for readers without a prior chemistry background. It emphasizes the significance of organic chemistry in medicine, making the material accessible and relatable. By addressing the perceived elitism and conceptual challenges of the field, it aims to empower a broader audience to understand and appreciate the principles of chemistry.

Evolution is one of the most fundamental principles that governs life. Its actions may be subtle, but they can be observed every day, such as predators hunting prey, or plant successions in competing for empty space. These habituations were envisaged by Charles Darwin to be the properties of nature that lead to evolution and prompted the conceptualisation of the theory of natural selection. The force of this process can be most dramatically depicted by looking at the variation of organisms throughout the history of life on Earth
