Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species was published on November 24, 1859 and sold out the same day.
The originator became famous overnight, but also subjected to fierce attacks and mockery. It was at a time when the creation story was the only accepted explanation for the diversity of life; each species was believed to be created once and for all. At the same time, the search for knowledge was ongoing, and thoughts about biological evolution were outdated. Charles Darwin was the one who let the bomb explode. On the Origin of Species is one of the most important books of our time. It has had incalculable importance for modern man's self-understanding and to this day has a great influence on the social debate as well as the development in several scientific fields. Translation by Roland Adlerberth and foreword by Nils Uddenberg.
