On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin pt.1
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection written by, Charles Darwin
On the origin of species (as its commonly known) is a fascinating book by the one and only Charles Darwin. this was not Darwin’s first book, but its my first Darwin book. I am a big believer in reading and learning and this book has been on the list for some time know, one day i came across while searching the library shelfs for something new to read. its a beautiful big blue book filled with A LOT of words and quite a few beautiful illustrations. not sure if Darwin him self made the illustrations but he certainly made all the observations. If you like history and science and nature or just learning i highly recommend the book.
below are a few beautiful pages from the first few charters -enjoy
the book is a bit dry but its packed with amazing facts and observations, so much that its a pretty easy read, its just a lot of information
if you want to learn more about Darwin and what made him who he became, read the book Mastery by Robert Greene. Greene covers Darwin in one of his chapters. an amazing book! the audiobook is available on youtube. https://powerseductionandwar.com/ this is a link to Greenes website.
this illustrations are sooooooooo coooooool!
