Notes

"The Origin of Species" is a groundbreaking scientific work written by Charles Darwin and first published in 1859. This influential book laid the foundation for the theory of evolution by natural selection. In it, Darwin presented compelling evidence and arguments to support the idea that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection, where organisms with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. The book challenged prevailing beliefs about the origins of life and sparked significant scientific and societal debates. Darwin's "The Origin of Species" remains a pivotal work in the history of biology, shaping our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth.
