«Происхождение видов»» – основополагающий труд английского натуралиста и путешественника Чарлза Дарвина. Одним из первых он выдвинул идею об эволюции видов и обосновал ее, главным же механизмом эволюции он признал естественный отбор. В 1859 году в «Происхождении видов» он подробно изложил всю суть своей теории и доказательства, на которых он ее построил. Книга вызвала большой интерес, так как была понятна широкому кругу читателей и развенчивала теории о происхождении и эволюции жизни на Земле,...

Этот труд Чарлза Дарвина – не только основа эволюционной биологии, но и дневник путешественника-натуралиста, побывавшего в Южной Америке, на Галапагосских островах и в Австралии еще в конце XIX века. Его научные и досужие наблюдения – это документ эпохи – эпохи в жизни людей, наземных улиток, утконосов, кенгуру, лавра и акаций. Автору, обладавшему интеллигентным юмором, удалось собрать замечательный «этнографический» материал о живой природе, рассказав об удивительных особенностях физиологии и...

The book discusses many related issues, including evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, differences between human races, differences between sexes, the dominant role of women in mate choice, and the relevance of the...

In this highly readable study, one of the great pioneers of modern science examines how people and animals display varieties of emotions via their facial expressions. British naturalist Charles Darwin–who expounded the theory of evolution by natural selection, the principle that launched a scientific revolution—based this survey on his personal observations. Most of his findings were proven by later research, and today's behavioral scientists continue to draw upon this work for...

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's major work of evolutionary theory. The book concerns the biological aspects of emotional life, and Darwin explores the animal origins of such human characteristics as the lifting of the eyebrows in moments of surprise and the mental confusion which typically accompanies blushing. Darwin's biological approach links emotions to their origins in animal behavior, and allows cultural factors only an auxiliary role in the...

The Origin of Species is the landmark book that for better of worse put science and religion at odds. Very few people who have read this book and come away not believing in evolution. The detail of research is even by today's standards stunning; and the writing is still eminently readable. Second only to the Bible in its scope of influence, this book is a pertinent today as when it was first written.

Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work of evolutionary biology, «The Origin of Species» introduces the scientific theory of evolution, which posits that species evolve over a period of many generations through a process of natural selection. Considered controversial even to this day because of its contradicting position to creationist theory, Darwin's theories have been widely embraced by the scientific community as fact and have laid the foundation for subsequent major advances in the...

The Origin of Species is the magnum opus of natural scientist Charles Darwin. In the book Darwin presents the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through the process of natural selection. The book goes on to present a body of evidence for the hypothesis that the diversity of life in this way arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin had gathered much of his evidence for the book on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s to among other...
