«El origen de las especies» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Del Serbal Ediciones in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Foundational work of biology in which Darwin argues that species change by natural selection: organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce. The author shows the interdependence between animals, plants, climate and environment, in a text written for the general reader.
Spanish edition, abridged from the sixth edition of the work, with introduction and commentary by Richard Leakey.
For a general audience interested in biology, evolution and the history of science.
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.
