«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardback (493 pages, in Spanish).
Darwin sets out his theory of evolution here: species change over time through natural selection, which favours individuals best adapted to their environment. The work brings together the arguments that gave biology a new direction and changed the understanding of nature.
2002 edition in the Biblioteca de los grandes pensadores collection; Spanish translation of «On the Origin of Species» (1859).
Recommended for readers interested in the history of science and biology who want to approach a classic of 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.
