Charles Darwin
On the Origin of Species & On the Tendency of Species to Form Varieties
by:
Charles Darwin
in:
Biology
Summary:
The book presents the theory of natural selection, explaining how species evolve over time through the differential survival and reproduction of individuals with advantageous traits. It also discusses the evidence for the common descent of all species and the role of variation in driving the diversification of life on Earth.
Key points:
1. Natural Selection: Organisms with helpful traits are more likely to survive and have offspring. Over time, this leads to species adapting to their environments and can create new species.
