| Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace independently discovered natural selection, and a set of common experiences surely contributed to that event. But, there were also major differences in their life-experience as collectors and travelers, their socio-political commitments, and their personal styles. The present paper is focused on, what is, perhaps, the most fundamental area of disagreement between Darwin and Wallace: the evolution of humanity. Darwin argued that human evolution could be explained by natural selection, with sexual selection as a signifcant supplementary principle. Wallace always had doubts about sexual selection, and ultimately concluded that natural selection alone was insuffcient to account for a set of uniquely human... |

Su interés y conocimiento por la evolución se desarrolló en sus viajes al Amazonas y al archipiélago Malayo, donde recolectaba especies que vendía a los museos de Inglaterra para subsistir. Su trabajo en mariposas es un ejemplo paradigmático de darwinismo que incluye el rol del aislamiento reproductivo. Sus estudios en el suroeste de Asia lo llevaron a descubrir la Línea de Wallace. Otro gran éxito fue su trabajo de 1855, "On the law which regulated the introduction of new... |

| Throughout the whole year 2009, the global biological community has celebrated the legacy of Charles Darwin, commemorating the anniversaries of his birth and the publication of "The origin", one of the most influential books of modern history. In this context, the Revista Chilena de Historia Natural inaugurates its new "Special Features" section with four independent essays dealing with the past, present and future of Darwin's ideas. This initial presentation focuses on some loóse ends of this Darwinfest, particularly on some forgotten anniversaries directly or indirectly related with Darwin's, and summarizes the contributions of the three essays following this introduction in the present issue. |
