RODRIGUEZ, Gabriel de la Luz. EL LEGADO RADICAL DE CHARLES R . DARWIN A LAS CIENCIAS SOCIALES. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2009, n.9, pp.267-282. ISSN 1900-5407.

This essay reflects on the theoretical repercussions that Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species has for the Social Sciences. It contrasts Darwin's epistemological legacy with his precursors in cultural evolutionary theory, mainly Herbert Spencer and Edward B. Tylor. It is argued that Darwin's most important lessons for the Social Sciences are in his naturalist writings instead of his writings on human evolution per se.

Palabras clave : Darwin; Evolution; Social Sciences; Spencer; Tylor.
