Darwin presented his theory of evolution in the book
- A. Philosophie Zoologique
- B. The Origin of Species
- C. Systema Naturae
- D. Principles of Geology
Explanation
The Origin of Species was published in 1859 and set out both the evidence for common descent and natural selection as its mechanism. Philosophie Zoologique is Lamarck's book of 1809, which makes it the tempting wrong answer in a question about evolution. Systema Naturae is Linnaeus's classification and Principles of Geology is Lyell's work, which influenced Darwin by arguing that the earth is very old.
