Book Description
On first publication in 1859, “Origin of Species” became a controversial bestseller. Darwin’s idea that organisms gradually evolve through natural selection overturned the belief that all animals were born out of nothing. Janet Browne’s examination of “Origin of Species” is an indispensable guide to the theory that changed the way we see the world and our place in it.
