«El Origen de las Especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Errepar in paperback (44 pages, in Spanish).
The work explains that species descend from earlier ones and that their diversity is due to natural selection: favorable variations are transmitted and the less adapted disappear. Against fixism, it presents nature as a network of relationships between organisms and environment.
The original work was published in 1859 under the title On the Origin of Species; this Spanish edition appeared in 1999 and belongs to the Clásicos de Bolsillo collection.
It is aimed at the general public, so it does not require prior knowledge of 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.
