The letters, over 15,000 in all, provide many insights on issues ranging from the origins of key scientific concepts, to religious and philosophical discussions which have continued to the present day. The letters also illuminate many aspects of Darwin and his biography: the development of his ideas; insights into character and health; and private opinions on controversial issues. Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 -- 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist , geologist and biologist , widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology . His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science. Hardcover.
