Darwin, Charles. creator text xx New Delhi Fingerprint! Publishing (Prakash Books India Pvt. Ltd.) 2013 9999 Fingerprint edition (unabridged text). monographic und 500 p. : 22 cm. The Origin of Species is Charles Darwin's landmark scientific work that introduced the theory of evolution by natural selection, fundamentally transforming the study of biology. Darwin argues that species are not fixed but evolve over long periods through inherited variations that improve an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. Individuals possessing favorable characteristics are more likely to pass these traits to future generations, resulting in gradual evolutionary change. Drawing on observations from his voyage aboard HMS Beagle, together with evidence from geology, animal breeding, and comparative anatomy, Darwin explains how new species arise from common ancestors through the cumulative effects of natural selection. The book examines topics such as variation among organisms, the struggle for existence, adaptation to environmental conditions, geographic distribution, fossil evidence, and classification of living organisms. The publication revolutionized scientific thought by providing a coherent explanation for biological diversity and laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology. Today it remains an essential reference for students and researchers in biology, genetics, ecology, paleontology, and the history and philosophy of science. / Charles Darwin.
