In approach of this book is the philosophical concerns that arose in a group of biologists. In the world of post-modernity, in which we live today, biology is undergoing a critical area, but it is difficult to understand and talk about biology, for something more general, language is corrompiendo.El language today serves a function that is exactly the opposite of its original function. The original function of language is to put men in connection with things. The words were originally reality bridges, vehicles for direct access to the knowledge of nature. Yet, today often come to be the opposite ... ... today we see how words appear whose role seems to be separate from reality, away from nature. How is it if not the words and Creationism Creationist?. What do these other terms as used ad nauseam in many biology books: Adaptation, Selection Natural?. Are scientific concepts? Someone, for far too many decades, has endeavored to take seriously empty words, ie concepts that have no place in a scientific horizon that aspires to have a minimal capacity crÃtica.En this book are discussed from the perspective of ten biologists twenty-three books relevant to their business. In the preface, the goals we talked about the search for a new biology that now seems necessary. We propose some conditions to be met by the new biology: Respect for others, respect for language, interdisciplinarity, and openness to the history and the humanities. Hopefully, reading of the comments may assist the reader in which he proposed new conditions that contribute to making biology a science in the service of humanity and avoid the opposite may occur.
