"The Origin of Species - From 'The Westminster Review', April 1860 by Thomas Henry Huxley" is a compelling exploration into the development of life, arguing for evolution through natural selection and shared ancestry. Written in the late 1800s, the book champions Charles Darwin's revolutionary ideas, providing a detailed look at biological diversity, the very definition of species, and how populations shift and change. It walks through the proof found in nature, from selective breeding practiced by humans to the picture painted by fossils, demonstrating how creatures alter and adapt. The work brilliantly tackles common concerns and criticisms, strengthening the scientific case for viewing species not as unchanging, but as the result of slow, steady transformations across vast time periods, championing evolutionary theory and inviting readers to explore it further.
