Natural Selection (Science Foundations)

In 1831, Charles Darwin set out on a voyage that would change his life, and ultimately our understanding of the world around us. The information about plants, animals and fossils that Darwin collected on that five-year journey became the basis of his book, On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection, explained how natural forces produce the astonishing diversity of adaptations observed in plants, animals and all living things. This work established natural selection as a fundamental biological force that explains the many aspects of the evolution of life on Earth.
