The origin of Species is perhaps the most - important for biology scientific work, and one of the fundamental work in the history of science, created by British naturalist Charles Darwin, published in English in 1859. Exposing his theory that organisms evolve by natural selection, Darwin presented as proof of data collected during the voyage with the ship "Beagle"!

The book is considered the most - and most unbeatable - large-scale theoretical work in the history of the science of life, and rightly comparison between him and biological treatises of Aristotle and its impact on the knowledge of man about himself and the world, and intellectual revolution caused by it are evaluated as - larger than those of the books of Newton, Copernicus, and the great physicists of modern times.

The scientific work of Darwin completely changed the way we - people perceive. Not a religious or philosophical revelation and scientific work, looking for the answer to one question - where we came, people!

Man is like a link in a long evolutionary chain - looked down upon and challenged while remaining classic and intriguing today.

The origin of Species was the main work in the life of Darwin. For contemporaries this is the book capsized the world, but only in recent decades began to be assessed as significant and true theorists of biology.

Every intelligent and understanding the pleasure of reading a person must have this book, and to add it as part of his collection in the library! The opportunity to enjoy this scientific work created by this brilliant scientist - naturalist, and to find the fountain of life with him is more than unique!
