"On the Origin of Species" concerns the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin wrote about a dozen different books, but this is the one for which he remains most widely known.
"Origin" documents changes in pigeons, geographic variations in finches, and modifications in numerous other species, both animals and plants, best explained as a process of the differential survival of slightly varying offspring. Darwin noted that many more offspring are typically produced than which reach sexual maturity, and that the natural environment exerts selective pressure on surviving members. Although the pressure is slight (otherwise the species goes into extinction), over numerous generations there is ample opportunity for variation.
Darwin's book was published to broad acclaim, and his theory has since become the foundation of Biology.
