本書是偉大科學家達爾文的重要著作。著者從各個方面以無可反駁的事實和論據闡述了人類是從猿類進化而來的，同時詳細地論述了性選擇的問題。這一偉大著作為生物進化論奠定了基礎，同時對社會科學的進展也發生過重大影響。馬克思、恩格斯、列寧對達爾文以及他的科學著作給予很高的評價，至今仍閃耀著不可磨滅的光輝。1974年，前英國首相希思訪華時，曾將此書英文版贈送給毛澤東。本書分為三個部分：（1）人類的由來或起源，說明人類起源于某一低等生物的證據和人類同低于人類的動物的心理能力比較，人類的親緣關系及其系譜等。（2）性選擇，說明性選擇的原理及動物界的第二性征。（3）人類的性選擇及本書的結論。達爾文為什麼沒有在《物種起源》一書中論述“人類的起源”？《人類的由來及性選擇/科學元典叢書》在論述人類起源和種族差異時，為什麼要大談“性選擇”？《人類的由來及性選擇/科學元典叢書》堪稱達爾文重要的著作，內容比《物種起源》更加驚世駭俗不讀《人類的由來及性選擇/科學元典叢書》，就不可能真正懂得達爾文的進化論。英國首相希思羅曾將《人類的由來及性選擇/科學元典叢書》（英文版）作為國禮贈送給毛澤東。
