«El Origen de las Especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Alba in paperback (638 pages, in Spanish).
Foundational work of modern biology in which Darwin sets out the theory of evolution by natural selection. It explains how species descend from common ancestors and how the struggle for existence favors the survival of the best-adapted organisms, forever transforming the understanding of the diversity of life.
The edition belongs to Alba's Grandes Pensadores collection. Translation of the original work published in 1859.
Essential reading for those interested in the history of science, evolutionary biology and classical thought, as well as for those seeking a Spanish edition of this fundamental text.
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.
