  • FLORENTINO AMEGHINO (1854–1911) the Son of Genovese Immigrants, Florentino Ameghino Would Claim to Have Been Born in Luján, I
    CHAPTER EIGHT FLORENTINO AMEGHINO (1854–1911) The son of Genovese immigrants, Florentino Ameghino would claim to have been born in Luján, in the Province of Buenos Aires, in 1854–76 years after the discovery there of the fijirst Megatherium specimen.1 Late in life he became a national treasure, but he had his share of rivals and detractors, some of whom cast aspersions on his patriotism by accusing him of having been born in Italy. Unlike his close contemporary Francisco Moreno, Ameghino did not belong to a distinguished Creole lineage and thus lacked the former’s entitlement to the status of quasi-offfijicial patri- otic naturalist, charged with classifying and organizing the nation’s past. In a world in which the naturalists were almost all part of an elite that controlled politics and culture, Ameghino was largely alienated from his colleagues, with whom he would have very difffijicult relationships all his life. Not even the issue of his birthplace has been completely resolved; some historians think that we was born in Monegalia, Italy, and brought to Argentina as an infant. There is some documentation that seems to support this claim, but others think that a birth certifijicate issued in Italy may well be that of an older brother emigrating with his parents. Regardless of his birth nationality, it is clear that he lived in Argentina since infancy, and that he was educated entirely there. By all accounts2 his youth was nothing short of prodigious. Shortly after completing his studies at the Luján municipal primary school at 13, he was appointed Assistant Teacher.

FARIÑA, ADA CZERWONOGORA and MARIANA DI GIACOMO Universidad de la República, Laboratorio de Paleobiología, Facultad de Ciencias, Iguá 4225, 11400, Montevideo, Uruguay Manuscript received on November 30, 2012; accepted for publication on June 12, 2013 ABSTRACT The South American Pleistocene mammal fauna includes great-sized animals that have intrigued scientists for over two centuries. Here we intend to update the knowledge on its palaeoecology and provide new evidence regarding two approaches: energetics and population density and relative abundance of fossils per taxa. To determine whether an imbalance exists, population density models were applied to several South American fossil faunas and the results compared to those that best describe the palaeoecology of African faunas. The results on the abundance study for Uruguay and the province of Buenos Aires during the Lujanian stage/age reveal that bulk-feeding ground sloths (Lestodon and Glossotherium) were more represented in the first territory, while the more selective Scelidotherium and Megatherium were more abundant in the second. Although the obtained values were corrected to avoid size-related taphonomic biases, linear regressions of abundance vs. body mass plots did not fit the expected either for first or second consumers. South American Pleistocene faunas behave differently from what models suggest they should.

División Paleontología Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s/n, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. [email protected] Resumen. La correspondencia entre Florentino y Carlos Ameghino durante las permanencias de Carlos (de 1887 a 1902) en Patagonia ha sido recopilada en las “Obras completas y correspondencia científica de Florentino Ameghino” por Torcelli. Durante esos 15 años, Carlos habría estado efectivamente al menos 13 en Patagonia. Existen 50 cartas de Carlos y 42 de Florentino y un número indeterminado, pero aparentemente escaso, de cartas se ha perdido. Sus contenidos pueden ser considerados desde diversos puntos de vista: resaltan el valor de las cartas como documentos de la perspicacia paleontológica y geológica de Carlos, certifican la fuerte competencia con otros científicos locales y la buena disposición hacia los extranjeros, permiten considerar la falta de fondos con que se hicieron los trabajos de campo de Carlos y el de gabinete de Florentino en el contexto de la situación política y económica del país, revelan relaciones muy direc- tas con altos funcionarios de la época e ilustran sobre aspectos de la relación entre los hermanos evidenciando sentimientos recíprocos de profundo aprecio, lealtad, respeto y admiración.

  • Florentino Ameghino
    Florentino Ameghino Naturalista (Paleontólogo y antropólogo) · Nació en Luján (Buenos Aires) el 18 de setiembre de 1854 · Murió en La Plata (Buenos Aires) el 6 de Agosto de 1911 Florentino Ameghino fue la primera gran figura de la ciencia nacional y la que alcanzó, seguramente, mayor trascendencia internacional. Fue un autodidacta, que puso por alto el prestigio científico del país sin más fuerzas que su formidable tesón y el apoyo de su hermano Carlos, y sin más financiamiento que los exiguos fondos obtenidos de una librería, negocio que manejo durante años en La Plata. Sin perjuicio de esta limitada condición, Ameghino produjo obras que no tuvieron igual en su tiempo y en su país, como la monumental Contribución al conocimiento de los mamíferos fósiles de la República Argentina, de 1889, que le valió la medalla de oro en la Exposición Universal de París, o Filogenia, principios de clasificación transformista basados sobre leyes naturales y proporciones matemáticas, que lo ubicó entre las pocas figuras mundiales del enfoque paleontológico de la biología evolutiva. En palabras de Sarmiento, Ameghino era entonces, "un paisano de Mercedes que aquí nadie conoce, pero que es admirado por los sabios del mundo entero." En su trayectoria científica se pueden distinguir tres etapas. La primera, que coincide con su juventud, estuvo especialmente dedicada a las exploraciones del suelo pampeano y a estudios sobre la antigüedad del hombre en América. Se puede decir que en este período, que abarca desde 1875 a 1882, Ameghino fue un antropólogo. La segunda etapa es la más trascendente de su producción científica. Vuelto de Europa con un gran caudal de conocimientos -adquiridos de sus colegas, y en los museos de París, Bruselas y Londres-, y con el material que provenía de los viajes expedicionarios de su hermano Carlos a la Patagonia, Ameghino fue realizando un monumental estudio de cientos de fósiles, que interpretaba a la luz del evolucionismo darwiniano, aún cuando esta teoría no se hallaba firmemente establecida entre los naturalistas.

The South American Mammal collection at the Museo Geologico Giovanni Capellini (Bologna, Italy) Colligo, 3(3). https://perma.cc/UF7Y-ZFWQ Summary: Near the end of the 19th century, Professor Giovanni Capellini KEY-WORDS acquired a rich collection of fossil mammal remains from South America, Giovanni Capellini which became part of the permanent exhibit in the Museum that bears his Florentino Ameghino name. We investigate the private correspondence of G. Capellini, in order Hermann Burmeister to collect historical data on the collection. This correspondence includes a 19th century letter from Florentino Ameghino, which proves that he was born in Mo- historical collection neglia (Genova), Italy. Combining results from the letters found and the Paleontology revision of the taxonomy of the specimens, we conclude that most of the correspondence collection was probably sent from Argentina by the German zoologist Carl Hermann Conrad Burmeister between 1863 and 1866.

A few studies have since added to the literature but our understanding of the affinities of this late early Miocene species or its role in the evolutionary history of Patagonian primates and the platyrrhines as a whole has remained quite limited. This is partly due to the loss of the type specimen. Here we designate a neotype, MACN-A 5757, the best preserved mandible from the original Ameghino collection of primates of Santacrucian Land Mammal Age that was likely discovered in the same gen- eral area as Ameghino’s type. Our reanalysis of the available craniodental material of Homunculus patagonicus, mostly from this series, indicates that its morphology strongly resembles that of modern pitheciines and their fos- sil relatives but tends to be more primitive.
