experimental biology, an experimental science of the twentieth century itself

is in this state of things, typical of a post-modern without references and the complexity is as unique and elusive character, when biologists do not fully define our guidelines and approaches. Biology, an experimental science of the twentieth century itself, showed its apogee at the time, not all was confusion. The experimental method proved useful in the discovery of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms that operate in living organisms. Establishing the new biology from biochemistry and genetics, experimental approaches which gave the answer to big questions. Forged with strong bases in the results of previous decades, biology is established and takes a position solid in the study of life through the scientific method. The application of scientific method at this time was exemplary. The series of experiments about the nature of hereditary material, its replication, the existence of messenger RNA and translation .... etc. constitute a set of unique achievements in the history of science. Each experiment was designed to answer a question or to test a hypothesis that was derived from previous experimental results. The result of each experiment was the basis for the design of the next. But, does this mean that it was entirely experimental biology?. No. On the contrary, the experimental results were integrated into a complex web of knowledge in the understanding of the evolutionary process, both from neo-Darwinian paradigm highlighted as being essential. Hence the phrase Dobzhansky: "In biology nothing makes sense unless considered in the light of evolution", indicating the way for the new results, from the pure scientific method, were discussed to integrate theoretical obsolete then a conceptual universe that assumes poor results and in many cases remains and is reported. A poor idea dogmatic, Darwin, expressed directly in the title of his masterpiece "The evolution of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1959), without any experimental basis and with no possibility of experimental verification because it is a tautology, engulfs all experimental results, the fruit of enormous effort and investment, and is considered the "philosophy" biology makes sense. The cause?. Mainly a series of historical coincidences. Darwin published his work a few years after the International Exhibition in London in 1951. The burgeoning British Empire need to support their development ideas of imperialism and colonialism. The idea of \u200b\u200b"Natural Selection" gets a boost even more materialistic development by itself the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. What better for companies that rely on liberal theory dictates that in nature the struggle and selection are constant basis?.
