by Charles Darwin (Author)
One of the most influential scientific works of the 19th century, The Descent of Man charts the evolution of humans from their animal origins. Darwin argues that humans and apes share a common ancestor, and traces the development of distinct human characteristics such as language, morality, and artistic expression. Despite its age, this book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, as well as the ongoing debate over evolution and its implications for our understanding of the world and ourselves.
