Fertilization of Orchids
"Fertilization of Orchids" is Darwin's most important work after "The Origin of Species". It was published in 1862. The second edition was published 15 years later (1877). This Chinese translation is based on the second edition. In this book, he described the elaborate pollination systems of many orchids and insects, and he believed that natural selection made the structure of flowers suitable for cross-fertilization, which provided strong evidence for his theory of evolution.

Origin of Species
Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" overturned creationism and species immutability with brand-new evolutionary ideas, built biology on the basis of science, and put forward a conclusion that shocked the world: life has only one ancestor, and organisms gradually developed from simple to complex, from low-level to high-level. The theory of evolution it elaborated was one of the three major discoveries of natural science in the 19th century.
