«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Sarpe in hardcover (638 pages, in Spanish).
Darwin sets out the theory of evolution by natural selection: favorable hereditary variations increase survival and are passed on to offspring, enabling adaptation and diversification of species. The work transformed biology and is a key reference in scientific thought.
This Spanish-language edition, published in 1983, is volume 1 of Sarpe's «Los Grandes Pensadores» collection; translated by Aníbal Froufe with a prologue by Faustino Cordón.
For readers interested in the history of science and evolutionary thought, as well as the classics of biology.
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.
