El libro de Darwin introdujo la teoria cientifica de que las poblaciones evolucionan durante el transcurso de las generaciones mediante un proceso conocido como seleccion natural. Presento pruebas de que la diversidad de la vida surgio de la descendencia comun a traves de un patron ramificado de evolucion. Darwin incluyo las pruebas que reunio en su expedicion en el viaje del Beagle en la decada de 1830 y sus descubrimientos posteriores mediante la investigacion, la correspondencia y la experimentacion. Ya se habian propuesto varias ideas evolucionistas para explicar los nuevos...

-Charles Robert Darwin, who was born in England on February 12, 1809, and died in England on April 19, 1882. He was a geologist and a naturalist. In his book, On the Origin of Species, he presented convincing evidence that every species on earth is descended from the same common primordial ancestry. His work, with certain modifications, laid the foundation for the development of the modern life sciences.

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, in which he writes of his theories of evolution by natural selection, is one of the most important works of scientific study ever published.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EXAMPLES OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE EVER WRITTEN First published in 1859, Charles Darwin's most famous work is usually considered to be the foundation of the science of evolutionary biology and introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book was met with enormous interest, provoking outrage and derision from many theological quarters but with far more positive reactions from the scientific community. Darwin's book remains as important and influential today as it was when it was first...

The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book on evolutionary theory by English naturalist Charles Darwin, first published in 1871. It was Darwin's second great book on evolutionary theory, following his 1859 work, On The Origin of Species. In The Descent of Man, Darwin applies evolutionary theory to human evolution, and details his theory of sexual selection. The book discusses many related issues, including evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, differences between human races, differences between sexes, the superiority of men to women, and the relevance of the...

The offer of a position on the Beagle, which Charles received on August 30, 1831, came through his advisor, Henslow, at Cambridge. Henslow himself had been invited to be the naturalist for the ship, but had turned down the opportunity. The voyage had been commissioned by the government to map the coast of South America and was being captained by Robert FitzRoy, a 26-year-old gentleman who had led a ship to South America the year before. FitzRoy was eager to have the companionship of someone who, unlike the sailors and officers of the ship, was of his social class. A gentleman naturalist would...

Large Trade Paperback Edition of the Original and Unabridged Version of The Origin of Species.

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species transformed the western world. Published in 1859, Darwin's book is considered the foundation of modern evolutionary biology. Although many of the theories contained in his work were previously explored by other authors, Darwin, for the first time, constructed a comprehensive theory on the subject of natural selection and its effect on the world's species. The book was written for non-specialized audiences which made it a wide spread success. Mr....

Charles Robert Darwin, 12 February 1809 - 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.

Con esta obra, Charles Darwin presento su teoria de la evolucion mediante la seleccion natural que, pasados mas de cien anos, continua siendo la base del estudio de la naturaleza para la biologia actual. Gran exito desde su primera edicion, suscito vivas polemicas y su influencia se hizo notar no solo en la comunidad cientifica, sino tambien en toda la sociedad. La obra que puso las bases de la biologia moderna, levantando una gran polemica tras su publicacion, no solo en circulos dedicados a la ciencia, sino tambien a traves del estamento religioso, que vio en este libro un atentado contra...
