'can we doubt ... that individuals having any advantage, however slight, over        others, would have the best chance of surviving and of procreating their kind?'In        the Origin of Species (1859) Darwin challenged many of the most deeply held beliefs        of the Western world. His insistence on the immense length of the past and on the        abundance of life-forms, present and extinct, dislodged man from his central        position in creation and called into question the role of the Creator. He showed        that new species are achieved by natural selection, and that absence of plan is an        inherent part of the evolutionary process.Darwin's prodigious reading,        experimentation, and observations on his travels fed into his great work, which        draws on material from the Galapagos Islands to rural Staffordshire, from English        back gardens to colonial encounters. The present edition provides a detailed and        accessible discussion of his theories and adds an account of the immediate responses        to the book on publication. The resistances as well as the enthusiasms of the first        readers cast light on recent controversies, particularlyconcerning questions of        design and descent.
