English abstract After a brief introduction about the factors that are involved in science development, and world and Brazilian evolu - tionary genetics, the studies developed in Porto Alegre in this area were reviewed. Four periods in the development of this group were distinguished: (a) Origins and first expansion (1949-1961); (b) Second expansion (1962-1988); (c) Third expansion (1989-2001); and (d) The last 15 years (2002-present). The international Porto Alegre Biological Evolution Workshops (PABEWs), with five biannual events from 2007 o 2015, were also mentioned. The final mes - sage stressed the importance of the maintenance of this and other Brazilian groups of research through adequate fi - nance and recognition
