Abstract
Historiographical production on evolutionism in Spain has given rise to a set of very appreciable original works both in number and quality. Indeed, the diffusion of evolutionist theories offers very attractive materials of study, as much from the point of view of the history of the ideas and the scientific theories, as from the approach around the studies of the broad social interaction that science establishes with its environment. The deep ideological and religious implications that the evolutionist question involves find in the Spanish case an especially interesting example. This paper tries to offer an overview about some proposals presented in the last forty years, so that it can give a cause for reflection for new research lines in the future.

Summary
RESUMEN La producción historiográfica sobre el evolucionismo en España ha dado lugar a un conjunto de trabajos originales muy apreciables, tanto en número como en calidad. Efectivamente, la difusión de las teorías evolucionistas ofrece materiales de estudio muy atractivos, bien desde el punto de vista de la historia de las ideas y de las teorías científicas, como desde la perspectiva de los estudios de la interacción social amplia que la ciencia establece con su entorno. Las profundas implicaciones ideológicas y religiosas que la cuestión evolucionista envuelve encuentran en el caso español un ejemplo especialmente interesante. Este artículo pretende ofrecer un panorama de las propuestas presentadas en los últimos cuarenta años, de modo que pueda servir como motivo de reflexión para nuevas líneas de investigación en el futuro.
