Chapter 2 - Darwin

Charles Darwin's fame comes from his description of natural selection as a mechanism of evolution. Darwin's great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, turned science's attention toward modern studies of evolution. However, Darwin did not do this in isolation nor with biology alone.

Topics for Chapter 2:

  • The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin

  • Alfred Russel Wallace and his papers of 1855 and 1858

  • Darwin's Famous Voyage on HMS Beagle

  • Jean Baptiste Antoine Pierre de Monet, Chevalier de Lamarck
