چکیده:
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

After the presentation of the views of Lamarck and Erasmus Darwin, in the following years, debates broke out between these two groups, namely the proponents of change and the proponents of the stability of species.
His interest in researching different plants led him to the conclusion that all forms of life on Earth are related and originate from a single source, and for this reason, he can be considered in some way a believer in the change of species.
7 Although Erasmus Darwin was aware of the existence of fossils and fossils also provided him with similar information, he considered the nature of living beings to be the best source of information.
There might be an assumption that the acceptance of Darwin's theory has transformed the science of biology into a science about the change and extinction of species.
In this article, I attempt to show that the historical nature of the science of biology is not due to the acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution.

So far, reasons have been provided to reject the claim that the acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution is not responsible for the historical nature of biology.
