Abstract

Many biologists believe that EVOLUTION is grant theory in modern BIOLOGY. Believing on the centrality of EVOLUTIONary theory to the rest of BIOLOGY is a special case of a more general idea: nothing in BIOLOGY can be understood completely without attending to its history. According to this idea, we should regard BIOLOGY as a historical science rather than a nomothetic one. But it may be supposed that as physics have been changed from a historical to nomothetic science, BIOLOGY should also be changed to a more “accurate” science, that is, a nomothetic science. In this essay, I try to reject this idea by presenting some historical evidences to show that it is not because of EVOLUTIONary theory that BIOLOGY is historical.
