Great work by our boy Charlie D.
It's amazing that he made so many accurate predictions especially considering he knew nothing of genetics. Mendel and his peas didn't roll around until a couple of decades later. Charles's lack of knowledge regarding genetics is proven even further when you find out he had his kids with his first cousin.

Can be tough going, but some of it is written so elloquently it is a piece of art, other parts seem to labour on.

Tardé algo de tiempo en leerlo, debido a que es un texto muy rico en información científica y no quería perderme ningún detalle acerca del gran trabajo de Carlos Darwin.

Contiene muchos detalles que sostienen sus teorías evolutivas, todos provenientes de la simple “observación/registro” de las características físicas de animales congregados en una isla remota donde la afectación de especies externas es mínima.

Libro forzosamente obligado a su lectura para personas interesadas en campos como la biología o genética; interesante para cualquier persona en general.

Important? Yes
World Changing: Yes
Interesting: I guess
Fun to read: No. Go read [b:The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time|125286|The Beak of the Finch A Story of Evolution in Our Time|Jonathan Weiner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328236736s/125286.jpg|2466] for an interesting look at evolution, darwin and all that!

Expectations high because of its reputation, I found the book slow-paced and quite boring. Not a word about human evolution! Darwin was no Dawkins in terms of wording and pacing, but this book led to a major paradigm shift in human thought. Its enormous impact cannot be disputed.

redundant, but enjoyable at the same time
