Faustino Cordón
Faustino Cordón was a Spanish scientist and pharmacologist known for his contributions to evolutionary biology and for his unique life experiences during the Spanish Civil War. Despite losing an eye and suffering severe injuries during the war, Cordón became the chief of armaments for the Quinto Regimiento at a young age. After the war, he worked in various scientific roles, ultimately developing a theory on the origin of life and the concept of 'basibiones,' which are self-replicating proteins. His work was largely unrecognized during his lifetime, yet he became a significant figure in Spanish science, advocating for evolutionary biology and publishing influential works.
