Summary
Darwin has aroused feelings of national pride in Argentina. José Babini recalls that Sarmiento used to jokingly boast that the theory of evolution was Argentinian, given that during his trip through Patagonia, Santa Fe, and the Andes, Darwin was able to observe and gather the physical evidence for the theory that he would go on to develop (34).
