SpecificationsAbout the Author The grandson of a pre-eminent natural philosopher Charles Darwin 1809-82 devoted his life to the study of all forms of animal and vegetable life. His book The Origin of the Species which was twenty years in the making is his crowning achievement.Author 1 Charles DarwinBook Description "When Darwin set sail at the end of 1831 it was only with a vague notion that all life forms both present and extinct were more strongly related than the Christian version of the worlds creation purported them to be. During his five-year voyage of research and discovery on board HMS Beagle and later from his home in Kent he painstakingly collected a mass of evidence from across the planet - from Paraguay and the Galapagos Islands to Staffordshire and Scotland - building a compelling case for a theory that would change the world we live in - and the way we look at it - for ever. The foundation of evolutionary biology and natural selection - which prompted as huge a revolution in the fields of science and religion as Copernicuss heliocentric model of the universe and Newtons law of gravity Darwins On the Origin of Species is perhaps the most important book of scientific observation ever written."ISBN-10 1847497845ISBN-13 9781847497840Language EnglishNumber of Pages 384Publication Date 2019-08-22View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author The grandson of a pre-eminent natural philosopher Charles Darwin 1809-82 devoted his life to the study of all forms of animal and vegetable life.
