| Summary: | The dawn of biology in Mexico was surrounded by strong debates in the institutions that tried to study this subject in the early twentieth century. Biology’s Mexican promoter and introducer, Alfonso L. Herrera, attempted to break with what he considered old-fashioned natural history, in order to begin studying the great problems of life, among them, its origin and evolution. This paper describes Herrera’s struggle, which was tightly intertwined with the social problems occuring in Mexico at the time. |
