Charles Darwin's Origin of Species

In 1859, Charles Darwin, an English naturalist, published one of the most prominent books in the history of science. This book is today popularly referred to as "On the Origin of Species", although the full title was in fact  "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life".

The contents book explained, at some indispensable length, ideas that Charles Darwin had been developing for about a quarter of a century, since his five year trip (1831 to 1836) nearby the world on the Royal Navy ship, Hms Beagle. The core of these ideas was the idea of evolution by natural selection.

Many habitancy today misunderstand what Darwin's gift to science was:

Charles Darwin's Origin of Species

* Some habitancy think Darwin's principles concerns the origin of life ("abiogenesis"). Darwin did not  easily deal with this matter (although he did make some speculations in inexpressive letters and maybe other writings) - his work is easily involved with how life changes over time, and new species emerge ("evolution").

* Other habitancy think Darwin was the first man to recommend the idea of evolution. This is not correct either. The idea of evolution - namely successive generations of organisms change over time - can be traced back to the antique Greeks. In more contemporary times, natural philosophers of the 18th and early 19th centuries (including Charles Darwin's own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin), were widely discussing evolutionary theories.  What Darwin's gift was however, was to recommend a mechanism, namely natural selection, by which organisms can evolve adaptations to their environment, and by which new species can emerge (and today, natural selection is recognized by scientists as the driving force behind adaptive evolutionary change).
