On the Origin of Species

Charles Darwin · 1859
On the Origin of Species
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

How can I apply the truth that it is not the strongest, but the most adaptable to change, that ultimately survives?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Have you ever read this great scientific classic as if it were a majestic epic poem? The theory of evolution, which Darwin set forth after long observation and anguish, goes beyond mere biological fact to stir a deep reverence for life. Behind the seemingly merciless "natural selection" lies the heartbreaking struggle of living things bending themselves, supple and ever-changing, to fit a world that never stands still. Before the truth that nothing is eternal and unchanging, I learn to set down my stubbornness and breathe in time with the flow of the world.

— ONGO · Curator
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species
"살아남는 것은 가장 강한 종이나 가장 똑똑한 종이 아니라, 변화에 가장 잘 적응하는 종이다."
