Perhaps the most famous–or infamous–work of scientific literature from the 1800s, Charles Darwin’s “Origin of the Species” became the genesis of evolutionary biology. Originally published in 1859, this book presents evidence of a branching pattern of evolution based on Darwin’s observations and research as part of an expedition aboard the Beagle to the Galapagos islands in the 1830s.

This edition of Darwin’s classic features a Foreword by Niq Ruud, author of Only Love: How Everything Was, Is, and Will Be, which was released in 2021.
