«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.

"The Origin is one of the most important books ever published, and a knowledge of it should be a part of the intellectual equipment of every educated person. . . . The book will endure in future ages so long as a knowledge of science persists among mankind." — NatureIt took Charles Darwin more than twenty years to publish this book, in part because he realized that it would ignite a firestorm of controversy.
