Darwin: Origin of Species ( primary source)













Of the Origin of Species by mean of Natural Selection, Is a book that was published by Charles Darwin in Nov/24/1859. This book is centered around the idea of Natural selection, which is the idea that there will be a struggle to survive based on your physical characteristics. In other words, survival of the fittest. Darwin backs up this idea with his findings of biology on his trip to the Galapagos Islands. These ideas were considered crazy at the time, but because they weren't threatening to the church, and weren't too radical, they were accepted over time.

  1. Charles Darwin was a strong supporter of science, for the is the creator of the Theory of Evolution. He has found that all creatures today have evolved from ancestors from our past. His theory is now the basis of all life sciences which explains the diversity of life.

  2. I don't think that this is 100% true in everyone's minds. For some people Religion is the basis of there ancestor, and who knows, they may be correct. I know I did do research on Darwin, but I myself don't really believe in his theory of evolution. This is the same for many other people in the world, and for this theory that just recently popped up in the 1800's to say that the church is in a way wrong does not make sense. It makes more sense to believe in something that has been around for a lot longer.
