Resumo: Reiterated references to a presumed predarwinian adaptationism that we found in the present literature about evolutionary biology can produce a distorted image of the subjects and problems which really occupied the predarwinian naturalists and of the importance that these naturalists indeed gave to the study of the complex relations that the morphologic particularities of living beings keep with the environmental exigencies. In this work, I will try to show that this last topic did not occupy an important place in the natural history that immediately precedes the Darwinian Revolution; and I will suggest that this lack of interest was associated with the persistence of an idea of natural economy in which each living being had a function to fulfill and not a place to conquer and to defend. Finally, I will show how the change of attitude towards that topic stimulated by the Darwinism impacted in the work of the field naturalists.

Las reiteradas referencias a un presunto adaptacionismo predarwiniano que encontramos en la literatura actual sobre biología evolucionaria pueden propiciar una imagen distorsionada de los temas y problemas que realmente ocupaban a los naturalistas predarwinianos y de la importancia que éstos efectivamente le concedían al estudio de las complejas relaciones que las particularidades morfológicas de los seres vivos guardan con las exigencias ambientales. En este trabajo, intentaré mostrar que ese último tópico no ocupaba un lugar de destaque en la historia natural que antecede inmediatamente a la revolución darwiniana; y sugeriré que esa indiferencia estaba asociada a la persistencia de una economía natural en donde cada ser vivo tenía una función a cumplir y no un lugar a conquistar y a defender. Por último, mostraré cómo el cambio de actitud hacia ese tópico estimulado por el darwinismo impactó en el trabajo de los naturalistas de campo. Universidade de São Paulo.
