The Origin of Species is one of the most important and influential books of its time and remains one of the most significant contributions to philosophical and scientific thought. The theories Darwin sets out here had an immediate and profound impact on the literature and philosophical thought of his contemporaries, and continue to provoke thought and debate today. Written for the general public of the 1850's, The Origin of Species laid out an evolutionary view of the world which challenged contemporary beliefs about divine providence and the fixity of species. He also set forth the results of his pioneering work on the interdependence of species: the ecology of animals and plants.

Just what I was looking for!
I chose the longest version I could find, and this one was the perfect choice. I chose this over shorter versions because I wanted the narrator to go slowly enough to be easily understood, and that’s exactly what I got. You can also speed it up, which was helpful during some parts. Overall, fantastic book and great narrator. I feel so inspired to write after listening to this audiobook!
