From So Simple a Beginning

Darwin’s Four Great Books edited with introductions
by Edward O. Wilson

Here for the first time in one volume are the four great works of Charles Darwin— Voyage of the Beagle (1845), Origin of Species (1859), The Descent of Man (1871), and The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1872). Edward O. Wilson has written insightful introductions to each of the four works and an afterword that examines the fate of evolutionary theory in an era of religious resistance. In addition, Wilson has crafted a creative new index to accompany these four texts, which links the nineteenth-century, Darwinian evolutionary concepts to contemporary biological thought. This is a gorgeous gift and an essential addition to everyone’s library.
