O vzniku druhů - Darwinova teorie pro děti (2019)

Long before humans appeared on planet Earth, it looked completely different than it does today. The first living organisms gradually evolved, and plants and animals changed over millions of years. This process is called evolution. In the past, people believed that the world was created in one moment and that all living things looked the same as they do today. Later, some prominent scientists made discoveries that contradicted this. One of them was Charles Darwin. Based on concentrated observation of nature, without the help of modern technology, he reached conclusions that changed our understanding of life on Earth. This intelligent, richly illustrated book explains his well-known, albeit now somewhat outdated, theory of evolution in a simple way, introduces the history of science, and primarily opens young minds and awakens interest in the world around us. The youngest readers will be captivated by the beautiful, vibrant images, older ones will begin to delve into the world of natural science, and the oldest, as well as adults, will appreciate the additions at the end of the book, where they will find other key scientific figures and terms, a glossary explaining more difficult words, as well as information correcting some of Darwin's misconceptions.
