The book presents the full text of the translation from the sixth English edition, re-verified with the original. Many changes have been made in accordance with modern requirements for scientific translations. Many of Darwin's terms, which have become part of international scientific terminology and the modern Russian language, have been restored. The text is provided with a commentary reflecting the main additions and changes that Darwin made, as a result of which the reader can get an idea of all six English editions in one book. The accompanying articles are devoted to the history and current state of evolutionary theory and are provided with extensive bibliographies.
