«L'origine delle specie. Abbozzo del 1842» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
This volume reproduces the first outline that Charles Darwin wrote in 1842 to condense his theory of evolution: a brief, dense summary in which natural selection and the image of the tree of life are already formulated. Compared with the full development of «L'origine delle specie», published years later, this text preserves the naturalist's initial approach and serves as a gateway to his thought.
It belongs to the Tascabili economici Newton collection; complete Italian edition with translation by Mirella Di Castro.
Suitable for readers interested in the history of science who seek a brief introduction to Darwin's 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.
