Darwin had been intrigued by the earthworm for forty years, but it wasn’t until 1881 that he produced the volume that would illuminate this “unsung creature which, in its untold millions, transformed the land as the coral polyps did the tropical sea.” The volume, which focused on the fascinating behavior and ecology of the earthworm, sold thousands of copies in its first weeks.
Om författaren
Charles Darwin (1809–1882) is perhaps the most important naturalist the world has known. He developed the modern theory of scientific evolution and, with others, the principle of natural selection. His landmark work, The Origin of Species, which explained the evolutionary process, was vehemently attacked as being at odds with the Bible.
