«Autobiografía» is the autobiography of Charles Darwin, published by Alianza Editorial in the Alianza Cien collection in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
Written for his children shortly before his death, this autobiography reviews the life of Charles Darwin: his childhood, his travels, his observations of nature, and the development of his ideas on evolution. It offers a personal portrait of the scientist whose work transformed biology, botany, geology, and other disciplines.
Work originally published in 1887; this Spanish edition belongs to the Alianza Cien collection, number 12, with translation by Aarón Cohen.
Readers interested in biographies of scientists, history of science, and the origin of the theory of evolution.
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.
