On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection Or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

A scientific work by Charles Darwin, published in 1859, presenting his theory of evolution by natural selection. Drawing on his observations as a naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle, Darwin argues that species change over time through variation, the struggle for existence, and the preservation of favorable traits.
