商品简介
《物种起源》全名《论依据自然选择即在生存斗争中保存优良族的物种起源》(On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life),是英国生物学家查尔斯·达尔文系统阐述生物进化理论基础的生物学著作,1859年11月24日在伦敦出版。
该书中,达尔文根据20多年积累的对古生物学、生物地理学、形态学、胚胎学和分类学等许多领域的大量研究资料,以自然选择为中心,从变异性、遗传性、人工选择、生存竞争和适应等方面论证物种起源和生命自然界的多样性与统一性。 [1]
《物种起源》不仅开创了生物学发展史上的新纪元,使进化论思想渗透到自然科学的各个领域,而且引起了整个人类思想的巨大革命,在世界历史进程中有着广泛和深远的影响。
作者简介
查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文(1809-1882),英国博物学家,进化论的奠基者。22岁从剑桥大学毕业后,他乘坐“贝格尔”号舰做了历时5年的环球航行,对动植物和地质结构等进行了大量的观察和研究。1859年他出版划时代著作《物种起源》,提出了生物进化论学说,从而摧毁了各种唯心的神造论以及物种不变论。除了生物学外,他的理论对人类学、心理学、哲学的发展都有不容忽视的影响。
