On the Origin of Species

內容簡介

內容簡介 這部最初的「大思想」之作改變了自然科學，並轉化了人類對自身在世界位置的理解——且時至今日仍具爭議。《物種起源》於 1859 年首度出版，向世人介紹了查爾斯·達爾文的「天擇說」，進而闡述了演化在自然生物學與物種發展中所扮演的角色。透過觀察並推論出物種是經過漫長時間演化而來，達爾文得以清晰地說明「共同祖先」、「生存競爭」以及「遺傳變異」等概念基礎。天擇說所蘊含的意義既多元又深刻動搖了 19 世紀的讀者，其影響力橫跨了宗教、哲學、人文藝術，當然也震撼了整個科學界。本書源自多年的觀察，且是為非科學背景的讀者所撰寫，《物種起源》是一部真正改變世界的經典之作。The original “big idea” book that changed natural science and transformed humanity’s understanding of their place in the world—and remains controversial to this day.First published in 1859, On the Origin of Species introduced Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection to the world and, by extension, the role of evolution in natural biology and species development. By inferring through observation that species evolved over an immense amount of time, Darwin was able to articulate the basis of ideas like common descent, the struggle for survival, and inherited variance. Manifold and deeply destabilizing to their 19th century audience, the implications of natural selection reverberated across religion, philosophy, the liberal arts, and if course the scientific community. Drawn from years of observations and written for a non-scientific audience, On the Origin of Species is a classic that truly changed the world.
