De l'origine des espèces

"El origen de las especies" se ha convertido por méritos propios en uno de los tratados científicos más importantes jamás escritos, y es sin duda el destacado del siglo XIX. Charles Darwin lo publica por primera vez en 1859, convirtiéndose en precursor de la teoría de la biología evolutiva. Su publicación suscito fuertes críticas, ensalzando su fama hasta nuestros días.

El origen de las especies

A German Editor having written to me for an account of the development of my mind and character with some sketch of my autobiography, I have thought that the attempt would amuse me, and might possibly interest my children or their children. I know that it would have interested me greatly to have read even so short and dull a sketch of the mind of my grandfather, written by himself, and what he thought and did, and how he worked. I have attempted to write the following account of myself, as if I were a dead man in another world looking back at my own life. Nor have I found this difficult, for life is nearly over with me. I have taken no pains about my style of writing.

Charles Darwin Autobiography

Comment un jeune bourgeois victorien, plutôt paresseux et porté sur la chasse, en est-il venu à révolutionner la biologie avec sa théorie de l'évolution des espèces ? Cette brève autobiographie, écrite à l'intention de ses enfants sur le ton de la confidence, est le texte le plus intime et le plus révélateur qu'ait laissé Charles Darwin. S'y mêlent son voyage autour du monde et ses problèmes de santé, son mariage et les débats suscités par sa théorie, les autoportraits du gamin espiègle et du vieux sage respecté, ainsi que le drame d'une foi religieuse désorientée par le hasard des lois naturelles. Cette édition, première traduction française exhaustive du travail de Nora Barlow, petite fille de Charles Darwin, complète l'autobiographie de nombreux documents essentiels, et fait la part des ajouts et suppression qui ont affecté ce texte justement célèbre.

A revolutionary essay, a true cornerstone of modern science, which remains remarkably relevant even today. ABOUT THE AUTHORCharles Darwin (1809-1882) was a visionary British scientist whose theory of evolution transformed our understanding of life on Earth. In his groundbreaking book "On the Origin of Species" (1859), he introduced the concept of natural selection, showing how species evolve over time through advantageous genetic variations. Darwin's bold ideas sparked both debates and admiration, but his contributions to science remain unparalleled. Through works like "The Descent of Man" (1871), he delved further into human evolution, and "The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex" (1871) explored the role of sexual selection in shaping species. His legacy endures, shaping modern biology and inspiring generations of researchers. Charles Darwin is celebrated as one of history's greatest scientific minds, forever immortalized for his profound impact on our understanding of life's diversity and origins.

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection - or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

Synopsis Published in 1872, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was a book at the very heart of Darwin's research interests - a central pillar of his 'human' series. This book engaged some of the hardest questions in the evolution debate, and it showed the ever-cautious Darwin at his boldest. If Darwin had one goal with Expression , it was to demonstrate the power of his theories for explaining the origin of our most cherished human qualities: morality and intellect. As Darwin explained, "He who admits, on general grounds, that the structure and habits of all animals have been gradually evolved, will look at the whole subject of Expression in a new and interesting light."

En 1831, Charles Darwin a à peine vingt-deux ans et part faire le tour du monde sur le Beagle.Ce livre retrace les débuts du naturaliste. en effet, ce voyage sera décisif pour la formation de la réflexion de Charles Darwin.C'est à partir de ce voyage et de ses découvertes qu'il pourra élaborer sa théorie de l'origine des espèces.Chaque page comprend de passionnantes observations où il décrit minutieusement les paysages, les roches, les fossiles, la faune, la flore les phénomènes naturels, les sociétés et les mœurs des habitants.Extrait:J'ai dit dans la préface de la première édition de cet ouvrage, et dans la partie zoologique du Voyage du Beagle, ala suite de quelles circonstancesje fus amené à me joindre à cette expédition autour du monde. Le capitaine Fitz-Roy, commandant de l'expédition, désirait avoir un naturaliste à bord de son navire et offrait de lui céder partie de son appartement. Je me présentai, et, grâce à l'obligeance du capitaine Beaufort, ingénieur hydrographe, les lords de l'amirauté voulurent bien accepter mes services. Qu'il me soit donc permis d'exprimer toute ma reconnaissance au capitaine Fitz - Roy, car c'est à lui que je suis redevable d'avoir pu étudier l'histoire naturelle des différents pays que nous avons visités. J'ajoute que, pendant les cinq années que nous avons passées ensemble, j'ai toujours trouvé en lui un ami sincère et devoué. Je désire aussi exprimer toute ma gratitude aux officiers du Beagle qui ont toujours été pleins de bonté pour - moi.

Voyage d'un naturaliste autour du monde

Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought and belief: no being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task. Yet The Origin of Species (1859) is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness, revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical environment, and—by implication—within the human world. Written for the general reader, in a style which combines the rigour of science with the subtlety of literature, The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.
