On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. In the 1872 sixth edition -On- was omitted, so the full title is The origin of species by means of natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life. This edition is usually known as The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory...

The Autobiography of Charles Darwin is an autobiography by the English naturalist Charles Darwin. Darwin wrote the text, which he entitled Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character, for his family. He states that he started writing it on about May 28, 1876 and had finished it by August 3. The text was published in 1887 (five years after Darwin's death) by John Murray as part of The life and letters of Charles Darwin, including an autobiographical chapter. The text printed in Life and Letters was edited by Darwin's son Francis Darwin, who removed several passages about Darwin's...

fue un naturalista ingles que postulo todas las especies de seres vivos que han evolucionado con el tiempo a partir de un antepasado comun mediante un proceso denominado seleccion natural. La evolucion fue aceptada como un hecho por la comunidad cientifica y por buena parte del publico en vida de Darwin, mientras que su teoria de la evolucion mediante seleccion natural no fue considerada como la explicacion primaria del proceso evolutivo hasta los anos 1930.

Ya se habian propuesto varias ideas evolucionistas para explicar los nuevos descubrimientos de la biologia. Hubo un apoyo cada vez mayor a estas ideas entre los anatomistas disidentes y el publico en general, pero durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX la comunidad cientifica inglesa estaba estrechamente vinculada a la Iglesia de Inglaterra, mientras que la ciencia era parte de la teologia natural.

El origen de las especies -titulo original en ingles: On the Origin of Species- es un libro de Charles Darwin publicado el 24 de noviembre de 1859, considerado uno de los trabajos precursores de la literatura cientifica y el fundamento de la teoria de la biologia evolutiva."

Extrait: "Il n'est pas douteux que la hauteur de la voix ne soit en rapport avec certains etats de l'ame. Une personne qui se plaint doucement d'un mauvais traitement ou d'une souffrance legere parle presque toujours dans un ton eleve. Lorsqu'un chien est un peu impatient, il pousse souvent, par les narines, une sorte de sifflement aigu, qui nous frappe immediatement comme une plainte; mais combien il est difficile de savoir si ce son est en effet essentiellement plaintif, ou si seulement il nous parait tel parce que nous avons appris sa signification par experience " (C. Darwin) Le texte est...

On the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and...
