%X the phenomenon of the diffusion of darwinism has been extensively studied. not only is there a "darwin industry" concerned with investigating how darwin£¿s work was produced, there is also a "diffusion of darwinism industry", that investigates the processes of reception of darwinism in various parts of the world. in this article, i question the intellectual independence of studies that examine the production of the origin of species from those that study its subsequent diffusion. based on a small number of examples, i show darwin producing and modifying his work from the contributions he collected from around the world and from the responses he received in commentaries and discussions. finally i examine how, in the course of studying the ¡®mundializaci¨®n£¿ (worldness) of darwinism, the problem arises of defining the phenomenon under study: either from a normative perspective, that seeks to impose an order on the proliferation of versions arising as a result of this global expansion, or from a non-essentialist perspective that seeks to better situate darwinism in relation to its different uses and local appropriations.
