“…Apparently, if the Mendelians opposed selection and gradual change in some ways, they embraced them in others. 3 See Smocovitis (1996) for an entre´e to this literature. The most prominent theme is that different schools or disciplines owned different parts of the truth, and synthetic thinking was prevented by conflicts, including personal conflicts (Froggatt and Nevin, 1971;Provine, 1971) and disciplinary rivalries, e.g., between ''naturalists'' and experimentalists (e.g., Kingsland, 1991).…”

“…Logo, a evolução assumiu um papel central e unificador na biologia, organizando as diversas disciplinas que a compõe em torno de um eixo comum (MEYER e EL-HANI, 2000). Somente com a evolução, que desafiou a redução à física e à química por causa de seus componentes metafísicos, ao mesmo tempo que introduziu um agente de causa mecânica de mudança evolutiva, a biologia pôde reivindicar sua autonomia enquanto ciência (SMOCOVITIS, 1992).…”

“…Não fosse a evolução, a biologia enquanto ciência se tornaria um amontoado de diversos fatos, alguns interessantes ou curiosos, mas que não fariam nenhum sentido como um todo (DOBZHANSKY, 1973). À luz da teoria evolutiva, foi possível buscar a integração das diferentes áreas da biologia visando ao seu estabelecimento como disciplina científica bem definida (SMOCOVITIS, 1992).…”

“…Les nouvelles données, loin de le remettre en cause, confortent régulièrement le concept d'évolution, efficace pour expliquer le vivant. En outre, l'évolution, fait scientifique, est un concept opérationnel unificateur pour les sciences de la nature, tout particulièrement pour les sciences biologiques (Smocovitis, 1992) jusqu'à la biologie du vieillissement et de la mort (Klarsfeld et Revah, 2000).…”
