Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

5.0 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking, May 1 2006
By Newton Ooi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Illustrated Origin of Species (Paperback)
The Origin of Species is probably one of a handful of books published during the 1800s that still influences society to this day. Written in first-person by the traveling biologist Charles Darwin, it lays out the argument that the members of each species display variation in physical traits. These variations in turn differentiate the survival rates and hence reproductive rates of the different members within a species. This is called natural selection. Over generations, specific lineages and hence traits come to dominate and change a species, or create new ones where only one existed previously. This is known as survival of the fittest. Darwin argues his point by using finches and various other organisms as examples, all of which he personally examined in his travels to the world's fauna. Overall, a highly readable book on science.
