«El origen del hombre I» is Charles Darwin's scientific essay, published by Edimat in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Charles Darwin applies his theory of evolution to the origin of the human species, a step he avoided in On the Origin of Species. Against the cliché that man descends from the ape, the author qualifies that idea and studies sexual selection as the key to differences among human beings, defending a common origin for all humanity.
First volume of El origen del hombre; the original title is The Descent of Man, whose first edition dates from 1871. The cover includes the Clásicos de Siempre brand and the mention Volumen extra.
For readers interested in the history of science, biology, and classics of 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.
