, Notes: A good example comprising Darwin’s two most influential works on science and evolution.
Charles Robert Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist renown for his contributions to the understanding of evolutionary biology, and he has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history.
The Origin of Species, which introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through the process of natural selection, is considered to be the founding of evolutionary biology. The Descent of Man discusses evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, evolutionary musicology, differences between human races, differences between sexes, the dominant role of women in mate choice, and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society.
