The Origin of Species

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

Am I willing and ready to adapt and transform myself within a changing environment?

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a vast work of philosophy that reaches far beyond biology. The nature Darwin observed was not a place where the strong survive, but a wondrous stage where those who adapt to change endure. Reading his Galápagos observations for the first time, I shivered at the stubborn will of creatures that, over millions of years, had whittled their own beaks and refined their own wings. Nothing is fixed; everything is connected and flowing. It reminds me that even the strange changes sweeping into my own life may be the beginning of a new evolution.

— 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, The Origin of Species
"살아남는 것은 가장 강한 종도, 가장 똑똑한 종도 아니다. 변화에 가장 잘 적응하는 종이다."
