Features: The publication of this book shook the academic world at the time and became a turning point in the history of biology. The theory of natural selection in evolution fundamentally challenged various idealistic theistic doctrines, teleology, and the theory of species immutability, causing a fundamental change in the concepts and ideas already formed in various fields of biology at that time. After graduating from the University of Cambridge, Darwin embarked on a five-year global voyage as a naturalist aboard the naval exploration ship HMS Beagle, observing and collecting a large amount of material on animals, plants, and geology. Through induction, organization, and comprehensive analysis, he published the book "On the Origin of Species," fully proposing the theory of evolution based on natural selection.
