    Abstract:
    El artículo examina el relato de Jack London "La Peste Escarlata" desde la perspectiva de la actual epidemiología evolucionista, sosteniendo que su comprensión pesimista de la dinámica epidemiológica en poblaciones crecientes, y su visión catastrofista de la evolución, son esencialmente correctas y se hallan muy por delante de las ideas recibidas y de las nociones científicas dominantes en su época. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ English Abstract: The paper examines Jack London's story 'The Scarlet Plague' from the perspective of contemporary evolutionary epidemiology, arguing that its pessimistic insights about the epidemiological dynamics in growing populations, and about the catastrophic nature of evolution, are fundamentally correct, and far ahead of the received opinions and the dominant scientific notions of his own time.
