«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Edaf Antillas in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
In this scientific essay, Charles Darwin argues that species are not immutable, but descend from others and are transformed by natural selection in a struggle for existence. The work also shows the interdependence between animals, plants, climate and physical environment, and explains how extinction is part of the same evolutionary process.
Work originally published in 1859 under the title On the Origin of Species; this Spanish edition includes a prologue by Faustino Cordón and belongs to the Biblioteca Edaf collection.
Classic of scientific thought, aimed at the general reader and at those interested in biology, evolution 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.
