The Origin of Species – or more complete: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life – published on November 24, 1859, is a scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the basis of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose through common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence collected during the Beagle expedition in the 1830s, and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experiments
