Charles Darwin"s autobiography was first published in 1887, shortly after his death. Because Darwin"s family deleted several sections due to content they feared was embarrassing or inappropriate, the first complete edition wasn"t available until 1959. Considered the "father of evolution", his classic book The Origin of the Species describes the process of evolution based on natural selection. Autobiography covers how Darwin saw himself later in life. This book is a fascinating exploration of the inner thoughts of the man behind the scientific legend.
