«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Antalbe in hardcover (668 pages, in Spanish).
A key work in the history of science in which Charles Darwin sets out his theory of evolution by natural selection: species change over generations and individuals best adapted to their environment survive and pass on their traits to their offspring.
This 1979 edition includes a translation from the English by José P. Marco, preliminary studies by Ángeles Cardona and Rafael de Buen, index and bibliography (pages 15-16).
Intended for readers interested in the history of science and the development 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.
