In 1859, Charles Darwin published a vastly important work: On the Origin of Species through Natural Selection. For years and years, man had been seen as a created species, distinct from other animal. Then, Darwin persuasively argued that mankind and other species are descended from common ancestors. His theory of "natural selection," also known as "survival of the fittest," explains how life evolved through natural processes. Because of the 1950s, most scientists accepted the idea. However, it upset many who believed that life was made by a supernatural God--a debate which is perpetuated today. The Science and Discovery Series recreates one of history's most successful journeys--four thousand years of scientific efforts to better understand and control the physical world. Science has often challenged and upset conventional wisdom or accepted practices; this is a story of vested interests and independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, and many more are featured.
