Catalá-Gorgues, Jesús I. (Author)
The assumption by some evolutionists of the late nineteenth century about the tertiary age humanity elicited intense debate among naturalists, biologists and physicians. In Spain there were adherents and detractors, whose diatribes he entered the general context of evolutionary issue in our country. The debate was especially encouraged Following arrival in Valencia, in 1889, a fossil human skeleton from Argentina that were attributed to primitive features and great antiquity. In the early twentieth century, a number of publications on this issue revived the controversy, with the professor of the University of Valencia, Eduardo Boscá, as a supporter of the allocation of Tertiary age, and antagonism to such a proposal prominent doctor Faustino Barbera and various Jesuit scientists. Scientific evidence and ideological and religious arguments were combined to defend opposing positions.
