Origin of Species (Charles Darwin)

"On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin presents the scientific idea that species evolve over time through natural selection. This process means individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to offspring. Over many generations, this leads to changes within species and the development of new species. Darwin’s work explains the diversity of life and how species adapt to their habitats, emphasizing that evolution is a gradual, ongoing process driven by environmental pressures and genetic variation.
