Description: Sixth edition, Two volumes set. Specialy published by D. Appleton for the Brunswick subscription CO. Olive green color pebbled-cloth boards.Text unmarked. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, is a work of scientific literature which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the sixth edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
