This work was based mainly in an attempt to articulate the Epistemology and the teaching of Biology: How to enable the epistemic parth of a concept is a workable didadctic possibility and potential for systemic approach to this concept? Biology's knowledge is systemic and integrated. Thus, the nature of biological concepts underlying a plurality of synergistic interactions and contingencies and unforeseen properties, engendered by a network of actions that occur in both celular and/or molecular level as in body or ecologic which prevents the reductionism of empirical research and/ or teaching and theoretical perspectives that ratify the tendency to melecularisation of biological phenomena. These reductionist, characterization of biological knowledge is the key of a contemporary epistemic debate about biological evolution. This process -statement as a major paradigm of biological evolution - is represented, in most cases, both in the classroom, and in textbooks by Modern Synthesis. For this theory, evolutionary phenomena is primarily designed from the molecular bias and natural selection understood as main evolutionary mechanism, providing explanations for both gradual changes identified in populations over evolutionary time and/or sudden organic innovations. Our aim was to move theoretica and empirically between different evolutionary contexts - Darwin to considerations of Synthesis Expandida - without obliterate with the assumptions consolidated by the Modern Synthesis, but presenting (re) theoretical ans empirical settings, especially concerning the origin of new forms and participation of ontogenic process and environment in evolutionary specifications. This epistemic route is a possibility or pluralist characterizations for evolution, and we discuss the (de) syncheonization between the theoretical and empirical research and accrued gaps by this relationship. our main questions were How evolution forget all existing organic...
