| This subject studies the contributions theoretical feminism has made to science (as a way of knowledge, and as a social institution) and the place science has given to women. Historically, scientific discourse has been used to legitimate the status of social subordination of women. The analytic perspective of gender brings us to metatheoretical reflections on the epistemic and logical foundations on which scientific knowledge is based. The theory of evolution is studied, as well as the role of women in the evolution of human species. And, in general, the biologicists tendencies which found on genetics, endocrinology, and evolutionary theory the differences between men and women which are "observed" in our society THEMES: 1.
