«L'evoluzione» is a collection of scientific writings by Charles Darwin, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (1024 pages, in Italian).
The volume brings together four texts by Darwin: the exposition of evolution by natural selection, the study of the origin of man and sexual selection, the writings that served as the basis for his theory, and his autobiography. The reader thus follows the development of his ideas on the transformation of species and human ancestry.
Volume published in 1994 in the Grandi Tascabili Economici Newton collection (I Mammut series), with complete editions and introductions by Giuseppe Montalenti, Pietro Omodeo and Luca Pavolini.
For readers of science, natural history and philosophy of science, and for those seeking a classic of evolutionary thought in a complete work.
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.
