El origen de las especies

The publication of the first edition of "The Origin of Species" in 1859 not only shook the foundations of natural science, opening a new path for all the disciplines that were grouped under that broad seal and facilitating the birth of many others, but which also represented a true revolution in the way in which human beings had understood themselves to date. This volume recovers the sixth and definitive edition of one of the capital works of Western thought in a new and careful translation by Dulcinea Otero-Piñeiro, the result of years of meticulous work, to continue making the Darwinian text accessible to the Spanish-speaking public. It is also accompanied by a valuable introduction by Miguel C. Botella, professor of physical anthropology at the University of Granada, who contextualizes the appearance of the book and its historical importance, as well as its reception in Spain and its indelible influence on subsequent development. of biological disciplines.
