Focusing on human evolution, Charles Darwin explores the origins of our species, asserting that humans share a close ancestry with chimpanzees and gorillas. He argues that the differences between humans and these primates are merely a matter of degree, challenging prevailing religious beliefs. In this work, Darwin offers a mechanistic and materialist perspective on human emergence, steering clear of superstition and spiritualism, and providing a groundbreaking analysis of our place in the evolutionary tree.
