Tendencias del pensamiento contemporaneo que explican la funcion biologica y social de la conducta, a traves de similitudes entre el hombre, los insectos y los primates superiores; igualmente, sus explicaciones hacen uso del salto de lo factico a lo normativo o, bien, de lo biologico a lo axiologico. Avance mostrado en notas y comentarios que inquietan la razon y la reflexion de aquellos humanistas o cientificos que consideran esencial la pregunta sobre la naturaleza humana. Palabras clave : sociobiologia, etica naturalizada, naturalismo contemporaneo, determinismo cientifico, falacia naturalista. Abstract It is the aim of this paper to bring forward the subject of naturalized ethics and contemporary naturalism, in which Sociobiology is preponderant. Tendencies in contemporary thought that explain biologic and social function of behavior making use of resemblance between humans, insects and great apes. In the same way, their explanations make a contrast going from factual to normative or from biological to axiological matters. This advance was revealed in notes and comments that agitate reason and incite reflection on those humanists and scientists considering human nature an essential question. Keywords: sociobiology, naturalized ethics, contemporary naturalism, scientific determinism, naturalist fallacy.
