It was exactly 150 years ago today that Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, a work that sparked a firestorm of controversy that continues even today. Using the observations he made during his famous voyage to the Galapagos 1830s, Darwin re-imagined the processes by which life comes to be–including the lives of modern humans. On the Origin of Species is considered the seminal work of modern evolutionary biology and its impact on society at large is hard to understate. What better time to revisit this transformative book than its 150th birthday? (And you can read it free on DailyLit!)
