Charles Darwin

The book paints a portrait of a man who entered the top ten greatest scientists of all time. It shows how the theory of evolution, which changed the world, was born in his mind. It was not a sudden epiphany, but the result of many years of research by the scientist and his reflection on the works of other naturalists. Darwin spent five years on an expedition, where he collected a huge collection of plants and animals. For ten years he systematized and described the samples he brought back. For more than twenty years he pondered the mechanisms of evolution and the origin of species. And in one year he set forth the theory of evolution in his famous work 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection'. The book also presents new evidence for the theory of evolution, obtained after the death of its founder.
