SYNOPSIS

Scientific essay in which the English naturalist Darwin explains the theory of the evolution of species through natural selection, that is, the way in which all living forms have evolved and consolidated over time. By observing plants and animals, he discovers the process that determines the survival of a species with certain characteristics, which occurs through various steps.

REVIEW

A challenging book that, although well written and explained quite clearly, is difficult to follow if you do not know the type of plant or animal it refers to. In this case, for non-experts in the subject, it would be preferable to read a version of the book with illustrations that allows you to follow and understand the explanations of the different species.
The author explains the purpose of the scientific essay from the beginning and, for its drafting, adopts a clear and direct tone, often using long but comprehensible sentences and paragraphs. He bases his theories on direct observation of the objects of study, and on scientific material from other authors. He contrasts his opinions with the ideas of other experts that he cites to support or oppose his theories and, in the final part, he briefly summarizes the topic of study.
