The book presents Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution through natural selection, illustrating how traits are favored within populations. Using examples like the artificial selection of farm animals, it challenges the long-held belief in fixed species as described by Christian doctrine. The work sparked significant controversy, reshaping the understanding of biological diversity and the processes that drive it, making it a cornerstone of modern biology.
