Resumen

Este artigo pretende oferecer uma revisão e reinterpretação do problema teórico na teoria de Darwin, na qual o princípio da divergência e da competição entre seres vivos está relacionado. Houve duas interpretações fundamentais sobre esta questão. A primeira delas é a daqueles que argumentam que a divergência é favorecida porque implica uma redução da competição enfrentada pelos seres vivos que se deslocam de um nicho ecológico para outro. Por outro lado, embora esta seja uma posição menos difundida - alguns defendem uma interpretação em que a redução da competição não é a vantagem, mas sim a especialização e, portanto, o aumento da competitividade, ou seja, ter melhores ferramentas ou capacidades para competir. Este artigo defende esta última tese, fundamentalmente apoiada por William Tammone, mas de outra perspectiva e com o uso de argumentos que se baseiam na proposta de Trevor Pearce sobre a noção de economia natural de Darwin.
