The advance of science is marked throughout history by major revolutions produced primarily by the discovery or explanation of natural events, the formulation of theories, and the development of new technologies. Normally these great leaps of science evolution are associated with names such as Aristotle, Pythagoras, Galileo, Newton, etc., but it is important to recognize that, with no disrespect to these geniuses of mankind, their discoveries or theories were also the product of the culture and scientific environment of their times.
Perception, intuition, and logic are the three means used by humans in order to increase their dominion over nature. As we will see, the commonly named scientific method has three main variants based on these three instruments.In this sense, perception and logic are concepts on two extreme ends of the scale while intuition would be in the middle; the latter allowing the formulation of theories that, in some cases, would surpass those which were developed through logic and perception, or a combination of both. To a certain extent, every theory is a combination of the three.

The evolutionary theory discusses on the other side, causes of changes in genetic information (DNA) and, on the other side, the form in which these genetics changes are transmitted to descendants. Its proposals are closer to the theories of Lamarck and Mendel than to the evolutionary theory of Darwin.
The new fundamental development in evolutionary genetics is the idea of the evolution as an internal mechanism of improvement of living beings, that transmits information to descendants and that, given the complexity of the aspects involved, use many systems, methods or procedures depending on each case based on its particular conditions. This modern theory of evolution outcomes an assembly of implications that represent revolutionary scientific aspects.
