THE FOUNDATION of Species is one of the most important and influential books of its time and remains one of the most significant contributions to philosophical and scientific thought. The theories Darwin sets out here had an instantaneous and profound impact on the literature and philosophical thought of his contemporaries, and continue steadily to provoke believed and controversy today. Written for everyone of the 1850’s, The Origin of Species laid out an evolutionary watch of the globe which challenged modern beliefs about divine providence as well as the fixity of varieties. He also set forth the results of his pioneering work on the interdependence of species: the ecology of animals and plants.
