November 24: Charles Darwin - Evolution Day (1859)
British naturalist Charles Robert Darwin published his seminal book "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life", which became the foundation of evolutionary biology. An introduction of the provoking theory of evolutionism that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection for the races fit the best for the environment. Written based on the evidence collected through the Beagle expedition. The book was unexpected popular and the entire stock of 1,250 copies was oversubscribed when it was on sale. Since then, the book has influenced us in many aspects such as idea, human and social behaviour, way of life as well as science to name a few.
