On the Origin of Species
Couldn't load pickup availability
Before Charles Darwin presented his revolutionary insights into the theory of evolution, it was believed that each species came to life individually and maintained its original form. He disputed this and proved that the law of nature was evolution—each living being descended from common ancestors, and Used ‘natural selection’ to survive in changing environments. His findings challenged the deeply held belief in divine creation and permanently transformed our understanding of the world.
When it was first published in 1859, On the Origin of Species triggered one of the fiercest debates between science and religion in the history of the world, one that still rages on. Today, more than a century and a half after its publication, it continues to exercise a tremendous influence in the fields of philosophy, history, theology and economics.

- Could be counted as the most important book in the field of natural history.
- Has been the cause of over a century-and-a-half worth of debate and argument between science and Christianity.
- This edition will be well-packaged and attractively priced, making it easily accessible to students and the curious reader alike.
