Beschreibung
Charles Darwin’s classic book sparked intense public controversy, revolutionized the course of science and continues to transform our view of the world. His theory that species derive from other species through a gradual evolutionary process, with the average level of each species raised by the “survival of the fittest,” stirred popular debate to fever pitch. Its acceptance revolutionized science. In his illuminating introduction, the noted biologist Sir Julian Huxley points to the almost impossible task of evaluating Darwin’s contribution to modern scientific knowledge and calls it “a truly great book, one which can still be read with profit by professional biologists.”
