Abstract

El concepto de evolución a través de la selección natural de Charles Darwin es una de las ideas científicas más brillantes de todos los tiempos para la comprensión de la biodiversidad y el lugar que ocupa la humanidad en la naturaleza. Reencauzar el verdadero sentido de la teoría evolutiva será uno de los mayores retos futuros y la mejor forma de celebrar el bicentenario de Darwin y los 150 años de la publicación de su obra cumbre El Origen de las Especies.
