Resumen de De la historia natural a la biología evolucionista: Aplicación del modelo de Lakatos
María Elena Bernal Vera, Elmer Castaño Ramírez
From natural history to biology using Lakatos’ modelEvolutionary biology history is recounted here using Lakatos’ model. We deal with the transformation of the natural history research program to the evolutionary biology one. Lakatos’ framework allows us to study step by step the transformations within theoretical structures, conferring rationality to science changes. Such scheme fits adequately in physics, yet for biology demands some artificial basic assumptions. Key words: Lakatos’ model, scientific change, natural history, evolutionary biology, research program.
