The mi ork—here published for the first time in Spanish translation— presents the main theses maintained by Monboddo and Rousseau regarding the nature of higher primates. This subject-matter motivated a long and deep discussion throughout the 18^th century, and triggered the first evolutionist intuitions later developed by Charles Darwin.

Keywords : Monboddo; Rousseau; primates; state of nature; evolutionism.
