The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin is universally
recognized as one of the most important science books ever written.
Published in 1859, it was here that Darwin argued for both the fact
of evolution and the mechanism of natural section. The Origin of
Species is also a work of great cultural and religious
significance, in that Darwin maintained that all organisms,
including humans, are part of a natural process of growth from
simple forms. This Companion commemorates the 150th anniversary of
the publication of the Origin of Species and examines its main
arguments. Drawing on the expertise of leading authorities in the
field, it also provides the contexts - religious, social,
political, literary, and philosophical - in which the Origin was
composed. Written in a clear and friendly yet authoritative manner,
this volume will be essential reading for both scholars and
students More broadly, it will appeal to general readers who want
to learn more about one of the most important and controversial
books of modern times.
