«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Planeta Deagostini in hardcover (637 pages, in Spanish).
In «El origen de las especies», Darwin presents his theory of evolution through natural selection: species change over time and the best-adapted variants prevail. The book shocked Victorian society, was highly controversial, and remains the basis for the study of nature in modern biology.
Work originally published in 1859. This 1992 edition belongs to the Obras Maestras del Pensamiento Contemporáneo collection (no. 4), with a translation by José P. Marco.
For readers interested in biology, the history of science, and the great classics of 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.
