«El origen del hombre» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Editorial Edaf in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Darwin applies his theory of evolution to the human species and argues that faculties such as language and the moral sense are products of the same processes that act on the rest of living beings. Darwin also analyzes sexual selection as a cause of many physical and behavioral differences between the sexes.
The original title of the work, published in 1871, is The Descent of Man. This edition includes a preliminary study by Faustino Cordón, a translation by Julián Aguirre, and belongs to the Biblioteca Edaf collection.
For readers of natural sciences and philosophy, as well as for those seeking the classics of evolutionary 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.
