Comic adaptation by Michael Keller (scenario) and Nicolle Rager Fuller (art) of the life of Charles Darwin, how he came to his theories and the evolution theory itself as described by Darwin. Although the theory itself has changed a bit since his days (and as presented in the book), it gives a good introduction. The art enhances the examples and theory really well and is not only biologically correct, but also nice to see. If you like this book, you may want to look at The Sandwalk Adventures by Jay Hosler in which Darwin explains his theory to an eyelash mite.

A stunning graphic adaptation of one of the most famous, contested, and important books of all time.Few books have been as controversial or as historically significant as Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life. Since the moment it was released on November 24, 1859, Darwin's masterwork has been heralded for changing the course of science and condemned for its implied challenges to religion. In Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, author Michael Keller and illustrator Nicolle Rager Fuller introduce a new generation of readers to the original text. Including sections about his pioneering research, the book's initial public reception, his correspondence with other leading scientists, as well as the most recent breakthroughs in evolutionary theory, this riveting, beautifully rendered adaptation breathes new life into Darwin's seminal and still polarizing work.

I am surprised to see criticism of the illustrations in previous reviews. Although it is true that the illustrations are not like a standard comic book, it is also true that this is not standard comic book material. The illustrations are beautiful and appropriate to both the subject matter and to Darwin's time. I love the concept and the execution. Well done. Highly recommended.

This book is awesome. It makes science history and Darwin's opus magna accessible to kids. Gets kids (and me) truly excited about biology and ecology.

I think Darwin would be proud of this. Not because it idolizes him, but because it does include many other contributors over the years to his ideas.

The art is awesome and stays true to a graphic novel style. I love how it includes some more well known text from 'on the origin of species' and then puts in other author's work. In a h/a setting you need to show multiple sources and examples, so this fit into what I like to do in class. It's definitely better than having the childrens read the original in its entirety (which I have done), they retain much more with this as a supplement to other teaching methods and activities.

Barinirm

I'm glad to see some other reviews posted since the first one which was biased and overly negative. I bought this book to see another style and have viewed it as such - another style, whether I am used to it or not, like it or not. I think it was a wonderful achievement overall for both author and illustrator and I'm happy to have it in my collection. It is wonderful for the young and old and will make a great gift for the science lover!!

Very enjoyable graphic novel. Well written summary of Origin, with the added impact of well drawn 19th century period style images. This book is also a great companion piece to the DVD "Creation", a dramatization of Darwin's thought process as he was contemplating Origin.
