The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was published on 24 November 1859.
- Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, although Lamarckism was also included as a mechanism of lesser importance.
- The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The On the Origin of Species article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 92 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
