Written for the general public of the 1850s, the book has never been out of print. The rigorously documented but accessible account of Darwin’s theory challenges notions such as the fixity of species, with the concept of natural selection. Darwin presents the results of his pioneering work on the ecology of animals and plants, making a groundbreaking contribution to philosophical and scientific thought. This work still attracts interest today that is as widespread as when it was first released 150 years ago.
