Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November
1859, is a work of scientific literature which is considered to be
the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was 'On the
Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the
Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.' For the
sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to 'The Origin
of Species.' Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that
populations evolve over the course of generations through a process
of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the
diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching
pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered
on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings
from research, correspondence, and experimentation. The Origin of
Species shook the foundations of traditional religion to its core.
One of the few revolutionary works of science that is engrossingly
readable, The Origin of Species not only launched the science of
modern biology but also has influenced virtually all subsequent
literary, philosophical, and religious thinking. This Special
Collector's Edition includes an Introduction by Charles Darwin.
