A origem das espécies: Sobre a origem das espécies por meio da seleção natural ou A preservação das raças mais favorecidas na luta pela vida
Divisor de águas e controverso desde sua publicação original, em 1859, A origem das espécies questionou pressupostos religiosos e propôs uma nova visão da história da humanidade. Edição com glossário de nomes científicos e um esboço histórico das ideias sobre a origem das espécies.
Poucos livros tiveram tanto impacto quanto A origem das espécies, do naturalista Charles Darwin. Ainda que se trate de um complexo tratado científico sobre como espécies evoluem para diferentes formas a partir de uma ascendência comum, o cientista tinha o público geral em mente quando publicou este trabalho seminal, o que se percebe pelo texto de tom literário, com influência da estética vitoriana. A obra segue despertando paixões e reações violentas, prova da força da teoria que é fruto de observações minuciosas e revela um profundo maravilhamento com o mundo natural.
Esta edição optou por usar o texto da primeira publicação de A origem das espécies com dois acréscimos. O primeiro é um glossário de termos científicos preparado por William Dallas, que Darwin incluiu na sexta edição para ajudar os leitores leigos. O segundo é um esboço histórico, escrito por Darwin, das ideias sobre a origem das espécies, desde Aristóteles até o século XIX. O texto mostra que outros antes dele e de Wallace tinham prenunciado a seleção natural.

About the author
Charles Darwin
2,377 books3,407 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.
