«El origen de las especies» is Charles Darwin's scientific treatise, in hardback.
In this work, Charles Darwin explains that species descend from common ancestors and change over time. Hereditary variations favourable to survival are passed from generation to generation; he called this mechanism natural selection, the cause of adaptation and the diversity of life.
The work was originally published in 1859; this Spanish-language edition belongs to the Sciences category. ISBN 9788436516128.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of science and the foundations of evolutionary 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.
