About the book

The Essential Darwin brings together four of Charles Darwin's major works: The Voyage of the Beagle, On the Origin of Species, The Descent of Man and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Travel and observation lead into the theory of evolution by natural selection, its implications for human origins and the continuities between human and animal behaviour. Across the collection, Darwin's patience as an observer accompanies his willingness to ask far-reaching questions. Together, the books trace the development of ideas that transformed biology and humanity's understanding of its place in nature.
