This edition preserves the original language and ideas that revolutionized biology, making it an essential read for scholars and curious professionals alike. ## Description An instant bestseller in 1859, few books have had such a revolutionary impact and left such a lasting impression as On the Origin of Species. Possibly the most important and challenging scientific book ever published, Darwin's language remains surprisingly modern and direct and is presented here in a faithful facsimile edition. The text is taken from the second edition (1860), which is the same as the first except for some minor corrections and so is the purest distillation of Darwin's original vision. It includes a new foreword by David Williams, Researcher at the Natural History Museum,and the introductory appendix, An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin, which first appeared in the third edition (1861). As such it is an ideal scholarly resource as well an attractive and excellent value edition for the general reader. Review: Mto bom. - Demorou muito para enviar, mas o livro é ótimo. Review: A natural selection of course - The book that started the ball rolling on the modern theory of evolution. A must read for anyone interested in and learning about evolution. Darwin’s ideas at the time were controversial but groundbreaking in revealing natural selection as the mechanism that spurs adaptation in a species. While the modern theory of evolution has grown beyond Darwins original understanding, it is still a great read ## Features - Item Trademark: THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM - manufacturer: The Natural History Museum - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 1.06, 1.06 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #28,917 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #90 in Evolution #158 in Biology #443 in Nature & Ecology | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 638 Reviews | ## Images ![On the Origin of Species - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wz-O7GrxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mto bom. *by E***R on 23 June 2026* Demorou muito para enviar, mas o livro é ótimo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A natural selection of course *by S***D on 23 July 2026* The book that started the ball rolling on the modern theory of evolution.
