On the Origin of Species

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

In a changing environment, are you adapting flexibly and achieving your own evolution?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Following Darwin's sentences as he observes the beaks of the Galápagos finches, I find myself overwhelmed by the wonder of life. The evolution Darwin spoke of is not simply that the strong survive. It is a great hymn to the flexibility of life—that those who best "adapt" to a changing environment are the ones who endure. My reason for taking out this old scientific classic and reading it again now is clear. It is to ask, rather than to fear the changes in the world, which parts of myself I should transform and which traits I should pass on. This book will evolve even your thinking.

— 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."
