Notícies i idees sobre l'origen, antiguitat i evolució de l'home a la revista "Ibérica"

Resumen

Ibérica was a journal founded in 1913 by Jesuit priests of the Ebro Observatory, a centre of scientific research located in the environs of Tortosa (Catalonia). tsmain purpose was scientific and technological vulgarization bymeans of brief current news, articles about specific subjects by specialists, book reviews, and other writings, that were published weekly featuring excellent typography and pictures. However, Ibérica was also a way to vindicate a substantial compatibility among science and Catholic faith. Evolution, especially when applied to the human species, was still a central question for that kind of apologetics, strongly pervaded by ideological and religious attitudes. The Jesuits remained as one of the most important bastions of antievolutionism in Spain, and new ideas about the animal nature of human being were systematically challenged by them in the pages of Ibérica.
