In 2001 Lynn Margulis visited the main campus of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito to give the commencement address and to travel to the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in the Ecuadorian Amazonia. We felt privileged to be part of her entourage for this trip to the rainforest and to have the opportunity to listen her descriptions of hundreds of plants, fungi, insects, slime molds, and even symbiotic protists inhabiting the guts of primitive termites. During this trip Lynn expressed the need to promote a more comprehensive perspective on biological evolution, one that takes in account not only the classical and modern interpretations of Darwin’s ideas but also the mechanisms of microbial evolution, especially symbiogenesis -the process that gave rise to eucaryotes more than two billion years ago and has continued to shape protists and multicellular organisms ever since. It was clear that evolutionary science was concentrated primarily on macroscopic biota while neglecting microbes almost entirely. Those conversations became the main motivation to bring some of the most important minds working in evolutionary science to the very place that inspired Charles Darwin, the Galapagos Islands. During the summers of 2005 and 2009 we gathered scientists specializing on plants, animals, bacteria and, protists to discuss the peculiarities of evolutionary mechanisms within each domain of life. This book contains some of the most important lectures presented at the first two World Summits on Evolution.

"La historia de la arqueología como campo de estudio está en construcción desde hace algunas décadas, desarrollando nuevas formas de trabajar con las fuentes de información. En el caso de la arqueología peruana, reconstruir su historia es una tarea ardua, en tanto que se hacen necesarios grandes esfuerzos para poder completar el panorama de los diferentes caminos atravesados por los investigadores del pasado. Sin embargo, también dicha situación resulta estimulante porque, como campo de estudio, el Perú se convirtió en un espacio internacional, en el cual muchos investigadores han practicado la arqueología aprendida o utilizada en otros países más allá de los Andes. El proyecto de historización de la arqueología en el Perú aquí propuesto por Henry Tantaleán es parte de este esfuerzo. Para ello, el autor se remonta hasta la época colonial en busca de estudiosos tratando de comprender el pasado, visita a los precursores de la arqueología en el siglo XIX, aborda especialmente el complejo y convulso siglo XX y cómo los arqueólogos establecieron una arqueología científica y finaliza con una serie de reflexiones acerca de la situación de la arqueología peruana en la actualidad. Este libro narra, de manera especial, la historia de la disciplina arqueológica en el Perú mediante la puesta en escena de grandes investigadores contextualizados en su espacio y tiempo. Además, se señalan sus principales actividades científicas y profesionales en las diversas etapas de nuestra vida republicana. Conocer cómo se generó y desarrolló la arqueología peruana resulta de fundamental importancia para la historia de un país marcado por una milenaria herencia prehispánica."--
