Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Foundation of the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin is a groundbreaking scientific masterpiece that laid the groundwork for modern evolutionary theory. Published in 1859, this seminal work revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and forever changed the course of scientific inquiry. In this seminal text, Darwin presents compelling evidence and persuasive arguments for the theory of evolution by natural selection. Drawing upon years of meticulous observation and extensive research, he challenges prevailing beliefs about the origin and diversity of life on Earth. At the heart of Darwin's theory is the concept of natural selection, whereby organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to gradual changes in species over time. Through a wealth of empirical evidence and logical reasoning, Darwin demonstrates how this process can account for the astonishing diversity of life forms observed in the natural world. "The Foundation of the Origin of Species" is not only a scientific treatise but also a philosophical and intellectual tour de force. Darwin's insights into the mechanisms of evolution and the interconnectedness of all living beings have profound implications for our understanding of humanity's place in the universe. Despite being over a century and a half old, Darwin's ideas continue to shape scientific thought and inspire ongoing research in fields ranging from biology and genetics to anthropology and ecology. His work remains a testament to the power of observation, reason, and evidence-based inquiry in unraveling the mysteries of life. Whether you're a student of science, a curious intellect, or simply someone interested in understanding the natural world, "The Foundation of the Origin of Species" offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most influential scientific theories of all time. Join Charles Darwin on a journey of discovery and unlock the secrets of life's remarkable diversity.

This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foundations of the Origin of Species Two Essays written in 1842 and 1844 by Charles Darwin We know from the contents of Charles Darwin's Note Book of 1837 that he was at that time a convinced Evolutionist. Nor can there be any doubt that, when he started on board the Beagle, such opinions as he had were on the side of immutability. When therefore did the current of his thoughts begin to set in the direction of Evolution? We have first to consider the factors that made for such a change. On his departure in 1831, Henslow gave him vol. I. of Lyell's Principles, then just published, with the warning that he was not to believe what he read. But believe he did, and it is certain (as Huxley has forcibly pointed out) that the doctrine of uniformitarianism when applied to Biology leads of necessity to Evolution. If the extermination of a species is no more catastrophic than the natural death of an individual, why should the birth of a species be any more miraculous than the birth of an individual? It is quite clear that this thought was vividly present to Darwin when he was writing out his early thoughts in the 1837 Note Book: - "Propagation explains why modern animals same type as extinct, which is law almost proved. They die, without they change, like golden pippins; it is a generation of species like generation of individuals." "If species generate other species their race is not utterly cut off." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Charles Darwin's views on evolution by natural selection has fascinated biologists since the 1859 publication of his landmark text On The Origin of Species. His experiences, observations and reflections during and after his pivotal journey on the Beagle during 1831-36 were of critical importance. Darwin was not, however, a man to be rushed. While his autobiography claims that the framework of his theory was laid down by 1839, its first outline sketch did not emerge until 1842. That essay was heavily edited, with many insertions and erasures. It formed the vital kernel of his more expansive but also unpolished and unpublished essay of 1844. Following careful editing by his son Francis, both essays were published in 1909, and are reproduced here. Reading these side by side, and together with the Origin, permits us to scrutinise selection and evolution truly in action.

Book excerpt: On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life), [3] published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.[4] 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of the Origin of Species: A Sketch Written in 1842 It is impossible to know how soon the ferment of uniformitarianism began to work, but it is fair to suspect that in 1832 he had already begun to see that mutability was the logical conclusion of Lyell's doctrine, though this was not acknowledged by Lyell himself. There were however other factors of change. In his Autobiography' he wrote - During the voyage of the Beagle I had been deeply impressed by dis covering in the Pampean formation great fossil animals covered with armour like that on the existing armadillos; secondly, by the manner in which closely allied animals replace one another in proceeding southward over the Continent; and thirdly, by the South American character of most of the productions of the Galapagos archipelago, and more especially by the manner in which they differ slightly on each island of the group; none of the islands appearing to be very ancient in a geological sense. It was evident that such facts as these, as well as many others, could only be explained on the supposition that species gradually become modified; and the subject haunted me.
