Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals by Charles Darwin. Charles Robert Darwin (Shrewsbury, February 12, 1809-Down House, April 19, 1882) was an English naturalist, renowned for being the most influential scientist (and the first, sharing this achievement independently with Alfred Russel Wallace) of those who raised the idea of biological evolution through natural selection, justifying it in their work The Origin of Species (1859) with numerous examples drawn from the observation of nature. He postulated that all species of living things have evolved over time from a common ancestor through a process called natural selection. Evolution was accepted as fact by the scientific community and by much of Darwin's living public, while his theory of evolution by natural selection was not considered the primary explanation of the evolutionary process until the 1930s. Today it forms the basis of modern evolutionary synthesis. With its modifications, Darwin's scientific discoveries still remain the founding record of biology as a science, as they constitute a logical explanation that unifies observations about the diversity of life. At the age of just sixteen, Darwin entered the University of Edinburgh, although he gradually put aside his medical studies to devote himself to the investigation of marine invertebrates.
