Abstract

The university education of biologists, and scientists in general, has been filled with theory and practices that attempt to include the majority of knowledge acquired to date in their respective fields of study. However, critical thinking has almost disappeared from classrooms. Could history and philosophy of biology be the key to prevent its disappearance?
