Thought provoking
By Mr. T. Leighton on December 31, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I found this book a fascinating journey into the lives of people and living organisms with such incredible detail that one would have to read it two or three times to fully appreciate his mindset.

Excellent work with poor kindle navigation tools
By gabriel gellon on January 16, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This work is a masterpiece and one of the most influential books in the history of humanity. It is very clearly written too but it's not recommended for those who do not have a special interest in the matter of human evolution or sexual selection. The kindle edition leaves a bit to be desired. In particular, there is no table of contents or any way to navigate a long volume which is used mainly for reference. I was interested in re-reading the section on birds dimorphism and had to skip the pages one by one to the desired location.

Fine book
By Peter Farnham on January 30, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I have wanted to read this for some time. It is a stunning intellectual achievement given that it is over 150 years old. It is, however, pretty dated. Darwin was a man of his time, and some of what he writes will strike the modern reader as being very politically incorrect. Still, it is worth reading for its historical value. And the flaws in it do not detract from its historical importance, or the power of his insight, which I think is one of the great ideas a human ever had. There is much in it to learn from.

educational
By Dr Skeeter on December 10, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I read this book as a follow up to Origin of Species. Which was published about a decade before. Anybody who would like to argue ( or listen to arguments ) about evolution should invest in both these books-after all the're free! You may find that don't really believe in Darwin's theories, at least not all of them. For example, are you willing to accept as scientific fact that European men are more intelligent than women, Africans, or American aborigines?. Read part three of Decent.

Barely scrapes the surface..
By MiamiViceSquad667 on August 8, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
A book originally issued with well over 600 pages condensed to a mere 137 pages. There is nothing more to say about this particular pressing.

Time perspective
By Eric Amberg on August 30, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I believe that this book is highly informative and ground breaking for its time. It therefore gives an historical perspective which is not as easily comprehensible in present time.

Must read for apologists
By Hugo Trevino on February 3, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is the logical conclusion to the "Origin of the Species". There are several parts of this book that every apologist needs to have handy when discussing the social implications of Darwins Theory of Evolution. If you want to do a study of social evolution, this book is your starting point. This book will explain many of the horrors of the twentieth century.

Get to know what Darwin really said. Surprising conclusions that today...

Rather boring for a lay person. Still lots of information. Was surprised to read Darwin's low opinions of women and blacks.

This version has been useless

This book did not meet my expectations. This is not a complete version of the book written by Darwin. I needed this for a seminar, and clearly it has been useless. Read more

Charles Darwin is a genius

I have to say I enjoyed The Origin of Species more than this book. Still it's humbling to see how Charles Darwin deduced so much with the knowledge of the day. He is a genius.

Darwin's explanation of the origin of man

Great book. Darwin changed everything! This is not anti religion. It just shows that the bible cannot be taken literally.
