Darwin’s Most Influential Works
Though Charles Darwin’s works on the function of earthworms, soil fertility, and phototropism had far more of an initial impact (and are still used to this day as a basis of our knowledge of certain plant and Annelid behaviors), these three books have had a much more far-reaching impact, and helped steer biology to a place where evolution plays a role in nearly every sub-specialty.
On the Origin of Species. Charles Darwin, 1859.
The Voyage Of the HMS Beagle. Originally published as Journal and Remarks. Charles Darwin, 1839.
The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. Charles Darwin, 1871.
