1. History of Darwinism ● biologist Ernst Mayr, the term Darwinism has along history and since 1859, when nine different uses manes. Initially meant only anticreacionismo Darwinism. If someone did not explain the evolutionary change is explained with natural methods of Darwinian strikeout. Thomas Henry Huxley and Charles Lyell. Since then we can say that the Darwinian paradigm resists against the attacks and reductionism, its basic formulation is effective and can last it seems that the evolution is the result of genetic variation and its management through the elimination and selection

2. Darwinism ● Darwinism is a term that describes the ideas of Charles Darwin, especially in relation to biological evolution by natural selection. ● Darwinism is not synonymous with evolution, the latter is prior to Charles Darwin: Darwinist theories are evolving, but its key contribution is the concept of natural selection that is crucial to explain the cause of evolution [1] and its subsequent development, with numerous inputs and corrections, allow the formulation of the theory of evolution is or modern evolutionary synthesis. Therefore it is equally wrong to use the term 'Darwinism' when we refer to the current theory of evolution because it is not limited only to the ideas posited by Charles Darwin.

3. Axis theory ● Darwinism in three theoretical axes that explain various aspects of biological reality. ● * The processor is the notion that species are changing their characteristics over time of a fundamentally progressive. What is now designated the term evolutionism was noted for a long time, until well into the twentieth century, as a processor. ● * The notion that species are diversified, for adaptation to environments or different lifestyles.

4. Influences on the formulation of the theories of Darwin Darwin makes formulations of his theories were influenced by a high level language learned sociologists or public (political), as Malthus and Spencer. As Wallace himself acknowledged, the reading of Malthus was crucial to the formulation of the theory of natural selection. Malthusianism ideas were known and discussed in the intellectual atmosphere of the time. Concepts such as competition, struggle for life and overpopulation, which appear in Essay on the principle of Malthus's population, they served both Darwin and Wallace to shape his theories.

5. Social Darwinism In the heyday of the theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin, and after the initial controversy, the concept of natural selection and interspecific relationships were improperly transferred into a simple and wrong, as agreed unanimously today, the relations social in order to argue a political position and ideological rather than theoretical, seeking to justify social inequality and laissez faire in the laws of nature.
