Features: This book is Darwin's masterpiece and the fundamental work of the theory of evolution. Darwin's theory of evolution was first systematically presented in this work. This sensational new book is On the Origin of Species, the magnum opus of Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolution. The publication of this work for the first time established biology on a completely scientific foundation, overthrowing the theories of "special creation" and "unchangeable species" with entirely new ideas on biological evolution. The publication of On the Origin of Species caused a sensation in Europe and the entire world. It severely undermined the foundations of the rule of theocracy. From the reactionary church to the feudal court officials, they were furious and launched a joint attack, accusing Darwin's theory of "desecrating the sacred" and violating the "divine right of kings," as well as being a loss of human dignity. In contrast, progressive scholars, such as T.H. Huxley, actively promoted and defended Darwinism. The theory of evolution broke through the mental constraints of people, inspiring and educating them to liberate themselves from the shackles of religious superstition.
