The Origin of Species (full title: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) by British naturalist Charles Darwin, first published on 24 November 1859, is one of the pivotal works in scientific history and arguably the pre-eminent work in biology. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published 24 November 1859, is a seminal work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, and presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose through a branching pattern of evolution and common descent. He included evidence that he had accumulated on the voyage of the Beagle in the 1830s, and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, a After Darwin returned to England from a journey to the Galapagos Islands with his new pet (and love of his life) he had to think quickly of a way to rationalize his new relationship to the snooty peoples and the queen. It all began to make sense to him when he began to ponder the origin of species. The book he created, which is viewed today of paramount importance to society, was originally written on the back of a copy of the 18th century British porn magazine 'Tankards'. Darwin had his new chimpanzee girlfriend transcribe it while they both were in a drunken stupor, she really did not understand what she was doing, and only agreed to write for him because tankards turned her on as well.

n5:abstract

The Origin of Species (full title: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) by British naturalist Charles Darwin, first published on 24 November 1859, is one of the pivotal works in scientific history and arguably the pre-eminent work in biology. In it, Darwin makes "one long argument", with copious empirical examples as support, for his theory that organisms gradually evolve not individually but in "groups" (now called populations) through the process of natural selection, a mechanism the book effectively introduced to the public. The work presents detailed scientific evidence that Darwin had accumulated on the Voyage of the Beagle in the 1830s and since his return, painstakingly laying out his theory and refuting the doctrine of "Created kinds", which underlay the then widely accepted theories of Creation biology. The book is quite readable even for the non-specialist and attracted widespread interest on publication. Although its ideas are supported by an overwhelming body of scientific evidence and are widely accepted by scientists today, they are still highly controversial in some parts of the world, particularly among some non-scientists who perceive them to contradict various religious texts (the "creation-evolution controversy"). After Darwin returned to England from a journey to the Galapagos Islands with his new pet (and love of his life) he had to think quickly of a way to rationalize his new relationship to the snooty peoples and the queen. It all began to make sense to him when he began to ponder the origin of species. The book he created, which is viewed today of paramount importance to society, was originally written on the back of a copy of the 18th century British porn magazine 'Tankards'. Darwin had his new chimpanzee girlfriend transcribe it while they both were in a drunken stupor, she really did not understand what she was doing, and only agreed to write for him because tankards turned her on as well. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published 24 November 1859, is a seminal work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, and presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose through a branching pattern of evolution and common descent. He included evidence that he had accumulated on the voyage of the Beagle in the 1830s, and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream. Image:Mantell's Iguanodon restoration.jpg This article is a .
