The Origin of Species (abridged)

Treatise by Чарлз Дарвин

Blurb

„Произходът на видовете“ е научен труд, публикуван от британския естественик Чарлз Дарвин през 1859 г. на английски. Книгата е смятана за един от основополагащите трудове в историята на науката и може би най-значимия за биологията. В монографията Дарвин излага своята теория, че организмите еволюират с помощта на естествения подбор, като доказателствата му са данните, които събира по време на пътешествието си с кораба „Бийгъл“ през 30-те години на 19 век.
Пълното име на труда е On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.

Darwin's Origin of Species is a classic book that should be read by any evolutionary biologist, if only for history's sake. He is incredibly observant, and notes many things that evolutionary biologists are still wrestling with. That said, Darwin was an infamously bad writer. This isn't a book many folks would casually read for pleasure. It is a piece of scientific literature, and although it is also a natural history tome, it is best suited for those with academic interests over those with just a casual interest in biological evolution and it's early heroes.
