«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Espasa in paperback (632 pages, in Spanish).
The work presents the theory of evolution through natural selection: species descend from others and individuals with favourable variations survive and reproduce, explaining the diversity of life. Its proposal transformed biology and remains key to interpreting nature.
This 1998 edition belongs to the Centenary Collection and includes Antonio de Zulueta's translation of the English original 'On the Origin of Species' (1859).
A reference work for students and readers interested in biology, the history of science, and evolutionary thought.
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.
