Una entrevista con Juan José Morrone y su influencia en el cambio de paradigmas para la biología evolutiva en México.

Herein, a recognition to Juan José Morrone is presented, whose great career, dedication to various branches of evolutionary biology and contributions to different zoological groups have left an indelible mark on the history of science in Mexico. To date, Dr. Morrone has had a great history of publications, including more than 300 scientific works, 35 books that are undoubtedly a reference and a threshold for any course dealing with systematics, biogeography or comparative biology. His great work as researcher does not diminish his work as a teacher, as he has taught 130 courses at different levels of education and gave 120 conferences in Mexico as well as in Latin America. In this work I try to summarize his great career and the impact that his ideas have had worldwide. In addition, I present excerpts from an interview in which we discussed some issues such as his literary influences, his way of working and his way of tackling different problems during scientific work.
