Treatise by Charles Darwin

Blurb

Om arternas uppkomst är ett vetenskapligt verk av Charles Darwin.
Om arternas uppkomst utkom 24 november 1859. Den första upplagan på 1 250 exemplar sålde slut redan första dagen. 1871 översattes verket för första gången till svenska. Verket väckte stor uppmärksamhet eftersom det ansågs bryta mot diverse olika religiösa skrifter. Evolutionsteorin har ändrats mycket sedan Darwin, men den grundläggande principen om det naturliga urvalet är allmänt erkänd inom vetenskapliga kretsar.

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.
