As already mentioned, this year will be neat in news about the English naturalist, something that has to rejoice at all that in one way or another Biology is dedicated to nothing trivial a matter, not just the year of Darwin, by extension will be the years of evolution. Hundreds or thousands of articles, books ... and blogs! We will refresh your memory and will enlighten the public on a major scientific paradigms of all time, while creationists seek to silence and unscientific that ultimately are raging on all fronts possible.
Today I bring to the blog to a couple of English scientists in a manner so direct and
unknown to the general public are related to the figure of Darwin and his scientific development.
The first is the Spaniard Felipe Bauza (1764-1834), military and geographer, member of the Royal Society, the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Royal Geographical Society, buried with honors at the Abbey of Westminster, who in exile in London after being sentenced to death by the absolutist Fernando VII, was required by British Navy in 1831 to report on the mapping of South America overlooking an expedition to the area that soon would make the ship HMS Beagle, captained by Robert Fitz Roy, in which a young naturalist named travel Charles Darwin! . The captain of the Beagle mentioned in more than one occasion the help you provide the reports and maps provided Bauza.
The second fellow, he was admired and quoted many times by Charles Darwin, is Félix de Azara (1742-1821), military
Huesca who was assigned to Paraguay to demarcate the borders between colonies English and Portuguese spending more than twenty years in the region, where he had time for fans and self-taught specialize in Natural History and Science discovered for more than two hundred species. Azara, very thorough in his observations led him to correct classifications Buffon, French naturalist famous. After his return to Spain in 1801 moved to Paris where he met several French naturalists, including Cuvier , the father of paleontology and zoologist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire , and decided to publish his works, the most important which is Voyages dans l'Amérique méridionale , in French in 1809. Azara concludes that there are mechanisms that make living things adapt to the environment and the species may become extinct. Darwin quoted in his works often Azara, both the Origin of Species , as in the Journal of a Naturalist worldwide and Origin of Man. No one knows for sure, but speculates that Darwin traveled to the four volumes of the works of Azara in the Beagle. Azara also suffer the rigors of absolutism Fernanedo VII, which made him retire to his hometown where he would end his days.

And how could it be unless I leave a musical contemporary of our two characters, The music Noturna delle strade di Madrid , Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805). Interestingly, this piece was used for the soundtrack of the film "Master and Commander", where the figure of a naturalist on a British warship, which is somewhat inspired by Darwin himself.
