QR code
"Darwinism Stated by Darwin Himself" by Charles Darwin is a scientific publication compiled in the late 19th century. The book offers a curated selection of key passages from Darwin's extensive writings, aiming to present his theories on evolution and natural selection through his own words. It is designed for readers unfamiliar with Darwin's research, providing a clear and accessible understanding of his ideas. The opening of the book sets the stage for
this compilation, with an introduction emphasizing its purpose of clarifying Darwin's viewpoints in light of misinterpretations. It describes how the text will guide readers through Darwin's thoughts on the movements and habits of plants, the role of worms in ecosystems, and the laws of variability in animals and plants. The preface reassures that while the book is not a full substitute for Darwin's original works, it is intended to spark interest for further exploration of his groundbreaking theories.
