. The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.

by Charles Darwin

Overview

Elibron Classics. Replica of 1875 edition by John Murray, London.
Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882), suffered from excruciating bouts of seasickness on his voyage aboard the H.M.S. Beagle to the Galapagos Islands - yet he carried on, spending as much time as possible on land collecting and analyzing specimens. The work he did there was to influence his later scientific writings, resulting most importantly in his abstract of his theory of evolution On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or, The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859), which would in turn influence the course of all scientific, theological, literary, and philosophical thought to come.
