«El origen de las especies» is Charles Darwin's scientific essay, published by Espasa in hardcover (696 pages, in Spanish).
In this seminal work, Charles Darwin sets out his theory of evolution by natural selection, based on observations gathered during his voyage aboard the Beagle. The book underpinned modern biology, remains an essential reference for science and sparked intense debate in the society of its time.
This edition reproduces the sixth, the last revised by Darwin and considered definitive, and forms part of the Austral Ediciones Especiales collection as volume 1.
A classic of science for readers interested in biology, the history of science and essays that changed modern 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.
