Is "The Origin of Species" about the origin of species, or about their changing over time? Puzzling title, considering most Darwinists argue that Darwin wasn't talking about the "origin," but the "evolution" of species....

Maybe I'm misunderstanding his use of the term.

Anyway, FWIW, the study seems pretty goofy. Of course homo sapiens have changed some over the years....

It addresses the means by which new species come to exist. It refers not to a single event, but to a general pattern of events.

Well, there's no way to figure it out except to keep looking at the title. If you solve the mystery, let us know.

Darwin used "The Origin of Species" because he didn't have the work to describe the subject of his book

Speciation: The development of new biological species, or the causes of this process (1907)
