Overview

Linneo y Buffon: un relato extraordinario de rivalidad y ambición por clasificar toda la vida en la tierra.

«Una narración, épica y extraordinaria, de rivalidad y obsesión científica en la carrera por estudiar toda la vida en la Tierra». —The New York Times Book Review

En el siglo XVIII, dos hombres de la misma edad (y caracteres opuestos) dedicaron sus vidas a la misma ardua tarea: identificar y describir toda la vida en la Tierra. Carl Linneo, un médico sueco muy devoto y con dotes de comerciante, consideró que la clasificación debía responder a categorías ordenadas y estáticas. Por el contrario, Georges-Louis de Buffon, aristócrata, polímata y director del Jardin du Roi de Francia, veía la vida como un remolino dinámico y complejo. Cada uno emprendió su trabajo consciente de las dificultades pero creyéndolo posible. ¿Cómo podría el planeta albergar más de unos pocos miles de especies?

Pero ambos acabaron muy lejos de sus objetivos, aunque por el camino articularon puntos de vista marcadamente divergentes sobre la naturaleza, la humanidad y el futuro de la Tierra. Linneo otorgó al mundo conceptos como «mamífero», «primate» y « Homo sapiens», pero también negó que las especies pudieran cambiar y terminó por promulgar una pseudociencia racista. Buffon formuló los primeros esbozos de la ciencia evolutiva y la genética, advirtió del cambio climático global y argumentó contra los prejuicios imperantes. El contraste entre sus investigaciones y visiones del mundo se perpetuó hasta mucho después de que ambos hubiesen fallecido, cuando sus sucesores se disputaron el dominio de la ciencia emergente que dio en llamarse «biología».

Tras más de una década de investigación, Jason Roberts narra, con una prosa elegante y ágil, una inolvidable y seductora historia real que explora las vidas entrelazadas y los legados científicos de estos dos grandes pioneros. Todos los seres vivos traza un arco de conocimiento y descubrimiento que se extiende a lo largo de tres siglos hasta nuestros días.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • An epic, extraordinary account of scientific rivalry and obsession in the quest to survey all of life on Earth

“[An] engaging and thought-provoking book, one focused on the theatrical politics and often deeply troubling science that shape our definitions of life on Earth.”—The New York Times

“A fluent and engaging account of the eighteenth-century origins of Darwinism before Darwin.”—The Wall Street Journal


WINNER OF THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD • A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR


In the eighteenth century, two men—exact contemporaries and polar opposites—dedicated their lives to the same daunting task: identifying and describing all life on Earth. Carl Linnaeus, a pious Swedish doctor with a huckster’s flair, believed that life belonged in tidy, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon, an aristocratic polymath and keeper of France’s royal garden, viewed life as a dynamic swirl of complexities. Each began his task believing it to be difficult but not impossible: How could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species—or as many could fit on Noah’s Ark?

Both fell far short of their goal, but in the process they articulated starkly divergent views on nature, the future of the Earth, and humanity itself. Linnaeus gave the world such concepts as mammal, primate, and Homo sapiens, but he also denied that species change and he promulgated racist pseudoscience. Buffon formulated early prototypes of evolution and genetics, warned of global climate change, and argued passionately against prejudice. The clash of their conflicting worldviews continued well after their deaths, as their successors contended for dominance in the emerging science that came to be called biology.

In Every Living Thing, Jason Roberts weaves a sweeping, unforgettable narrative spell, exploring the intertwined lives and legacies of Linnaeus and Buffon—as well as the groundbreaking, often fatal adventures of their acolytes—to trace an arc of insight and discovery that extends across three centuries into the present day.
