On the origin of species by Charles Darwin
- benjoffe 11y agoThe article also mentions that so I'm guessing the questioner is looking for other examples.
- JadeNB 11y agoThat's an interesting one, but was it written for a popular audience? (Maybe it was; I don't know.) In terms of achieving a popular audience, "Relativity: The special and general theory" may be in the same league as Darwin.
- lolc 11y agoI read Origin of Species before The Selfish Gene and I enjoyed it a lot. I actually knew enough about evolution to follow all arguments easily. This is not surprising given that Darwin tried to introduce the idea to an audience that was largely alien to the concept. I think what I liked most about the book is the (clearly labeled) speculations. He was already anticipating a lot.
