«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by El País in hardback (766 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Charles Darwin explains the origin of the diversity of living beings: species are not immutable, but descend from earlier ones and change over time by natural selection, the mechanism by which individuals best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce.
This edition, published in 2010, is part of the Grandes obras del pensamiento collection. The original title of the work is On the Origin of Species.
It is aimed at readers interested in the history of science and the foundations of biology.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental scientific concept. In a joint presentation with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey.
