About this audiobook
'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'
Considered as the foundation of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin's groundbreaking
On the Origin of Species profoundly transformed the field of biology at the time, as well as contemporary religious beliefs.
First published in 1859,
On the Origin of Species presents Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin argues that species evolve over time; individuals with superior traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. These favourable traits become more common in subsequent generations, leading to the gradual development of a new species. Darwin draws upon extensive evidence from biology, geology and the animal kingdom to support his theory, challenging the idea that species are fixed and unchanging. Revolutionary in its influence,
On the Origin of Species laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology. This audiobook edition is skilfully narrated by Mark Elstob.
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English biologist, naturalist and geologist. Initially studying medicine and theology, Darwin became drawn to natural science, wherein he developed the pioneering theory of evolution via natural selection. He remains a hugely respected figure in science to this day.
