«El origen de las especies» is Charles Darwin's scientific essay, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in paperback (120 pages).
It argues that populations grow faster than available resources, leading to a struggle for survival. Hereditary variations make some individuals better adapted to their environment, and these traits are passed on to the next generation; Darwin calls this natural selection. The accumulation of these changes gives rise to new species.
The work was originally published on 24 November 1859 under the title On the Origin of Species. This Spanish edition was published in August 2015.
For readers interested in evolutionary biology and the history of science.
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.
