The Origin of Species

Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" is a key text in evolutionary biology, introducing natural selection as a mechanism for evolution. While acknowledging Lamarckism, Darwin emphasizes common descent and a branching evolutionary pattern based on his research from the Beagle expedition in the 1830s. Aimed at a non-specialist audience, the book generated significant interest and sparked discussions in scientific, philosophical, and religious circles.

Directed at a non-specialist audience, the book generated substantial interest upon its release, bolstered by Darwin’s credibility as a scientist. This sparked discussions across scientific, philosophical, and religious circles. Before his work, various evolutionary concepts were emerging, supported by dissenting anatomists and the general public. However, the English scientific community of the mid-19th century, closely aligned with the Church of England, resisted the notion of transmutation, believing in immutable species and the uniqueness of humans.
