jul 10, 1859 - Darwin's On the Origin of Species

Description:

After years of world travel and study, Darwin composed and published his theories on evolution. His work was revolutionary; no one had ever provided evidence for such a radically new idea for the source of differentiation in life. This book challenged traditional Christian teachings and was controversial at the time. He, through this publication, is considered to be the father of evolutionary biology and forged the way for science as an explanation for the origin of humanity.
