El origen de las especies: mediante selección natural (Alianza Ensayo)
«Estoy plenamente convencido de que las especies no son inmutables, sino que las que pertenecen a lo que se conoce como un mismo género son descendientes directas de alguna otra especie por lo común extinta, de igual modo que las variedades reconocidas de una especie cualquiera son descendientes de esa especie. Es más, estoy convencido de que la selección natural ha sido el mecanismo principal de modificación, aunque no el único.»
La publicación de la primera edición de El origen de las especies en 1859 no sólo sacudió los cimientos de la ciencia natural, abriendo un nuevo camino para todas las disciplinas que se agrupaban bajo ese amplio sello y facilitando el nacimiento de muchas otras, sino que supuso también una auténtica revolución en la forma en que el ser humano se había entendido a sí mismo hasta la fecha.
Este volumen recupera la sexta y definitiva edición de una de las obras capitales del pensamiento occidental en una nueva y cuidada traducción a cargo de Dulcinea Otero-Piñeiro, fruto de un minucioso trabajo de años, para seguir haciendo accesible el texto darwiniano al público hispanohablante. Se acompaña, además, de una valiosa introducción de Miguel C. Botella, catedrático de antropología física de la Universidad de Granada, que contextualiza la aparición del libro y su importancia histórica, así como su recepción en España y su imborrable influencia en el desarrollo posterior de las disciplinas biológicas.

About the author
Charles Darwin
2,387 books3,423 followersCharles Robert Darwin of Britain revolutionized the study of biology with his theory, based on natural selection; his most famous works include
On the Origin of Species
(1859) and
The Descent of Man
(1871).
Chiefly Asa Gray of America advocated his theories.
Works of Jacques Martin Barzun include Darwin, Marx, Wagner (1941).
Charles Robert Darwin, an eminent English collector and geologist, proposed and provided scientific evidence of common ancestors for all life over time through the process that he called. The scientific community and the public in his lifetime accepted the facts that occur and then in the 1930s widely came to see the primary explanation of the process that now forms modernity. In modified form, the foundational scientific discovery of Darwin provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life.
Darwin developed his interest in history and medicine at Edinburgh University and then theology at Cambridge. His five-year voyage on the Beagle established him as a geologist, whose observations and supported uniformitarian ideas of Charles Lyell, and publication of his journal made him as a popular author. Darwin collected wildlife and fossils on the voyage, but their geographical distribution puzzled him, who investigated the transmutation and conceived idea in 1838. He discussed his ideas but needed time for extensive research despite priority of geology. He wrote in 1858, when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay, which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication.
His book of 1859 commonly established the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature. He examined human sexuality in Selection in Relation to Sex , and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals followed. A series of books published his research on plants, and he finally examined effect of earthworms on soil.
A state funeral recognized Darwin in recognition of preeminence and only four other non-royal personages of the United Kingdom of the 19th century; people buried his body in Westminster abbey, close to those of John Herschel and Isaac Newton.
Her fathered Francis Darwin, astronomer George Darwin, and politician, economist and eugenicist Leonard Darwin.
