Abstract

On the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Anís del Mono Company, the reasons that allow us to argue that the famous label refers kindly to Darwin and the Origin of Man became explicit. This is evidenced by the content of the label itself, its coincidence with a peak of the evolutionary debate in Spain and particularly in Barcelona, as well as the moderate liberal position of the Bosch brothers in the years when the label was designed and appear on anise bottles. This is possible even though we know that the Bosch brothers were practicing Catholics, since in non-ultramontane circles it was possible to reconcile evolution with the Catholicism.
