The book presents the groundbreaking scientific theory of evolution through natural selection, arguing that species evolve over generations. It details how life's diversity stems from common descent, supported by evidence gathered during Darwin's Beagle expedition and his later research. This foundational text in evolutionary biology challenges previous notions of species creation and introduces the concept of "favoured races" in the struggle for survival, marking a significant shift in scientific thought.
