The Foundation of the Origin of Species

Meer over het boek

These essays, written between 1842 and 1844, serve as the foundational expressions of Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution, which he fully developed in 1859. They explore the early concepts of natural selection and the mechanisms of species adaptation, laying the groundwork for modern evolutionary biology. Through these writings, Darwin introduces revolutionary ideas that challenge existing notions of creation and the diversity of life on Earth.
