<"Expresado muy brevemente, Darwin sustanció con muy variadas evidencias la idea (que otros antes que él habían propuesto) de que las especies evolucionan, encontrando además un mecanismo que hacía plausible tal evolución; defendió que la vida es como un árbol, de cuyas raíces han ido brotando diferentes ramas, esto es, especies, que con el paso del tiempo continúan diversificándose, dando origen a otras bajo la presión de determinados condicionamientos.
