«El origen del hombre» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by Ediciones Petronio, S.A. in hardcover in 1973, in Spanish.
In this work, Darwin applies his theory of evolution to human beings: he argues that the human species shares a common ancestor with other animals and explains the physical and mental traits of humans through natural selection. He also examines sexual selection, diversity among human populations, and the development of morality and intelligence.
The book consists of 414 pages and falls within the areas of science, history, and philosophy.
For readers interested in the history of science, evolutionary biology, and Darwin's 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.
