I propose in this paper to explore one poorly known aspect of Jakobson's and Trubetzkoy's ideal library, or intellectual world: the biological background, in its relationship with what would be called nowadays «global, or holistic ecology». As a matter of fact, an important part of the scope of interest of the so-called Prague-Russians is to be put within the framework of controversies of this period in the domain of evolutionism in biology, a science which for a long time played the role of model-supplier for human sciences before linguistics itself took up this role after World War II.
