On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
By Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
This groundbreaking work presents the theory of evolution, asserting that species evolve over generations through a process of natural selection. The book provides a comprehensive explanation of how the diversity of life on Earth developed over millions of years from a common ancestry. It includes detailed observations and arguments to support the idea that species evolve by adapting to their environments, challenging the prevailing belief of the time that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy.
The 190th greatest book of all time
