Charles Darwin

This groundbreaking work is a cornerstone of evolutionary biology, as it lays out Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. Darwin's observations of finches on the Galapagos Islands and other species around the world led him to propose that all organisms evolved over time through a process of variation and survival of the fittest. This book remains a fascinating and influential scientific work.
