Question 5 • 5120VA Environmental Science Sem A

Which of the following is not true about Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species?

Answer
A
He worked on the manuscript for three years.
B
It was successful.
C
It explained his theory of evolution.
D
It was based on his findings in South Africa.

Explanation

Darwin’s On the Origin of Species explained his theory of evolution and became a successful book. He developed the ideas from observations made during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, especially in South America and the Galápagos Islands—not from findings in South Africa. So the statement that the book was based on findings in South Africa is not true.
