In the last centuries, the Science is producing a lot of answers for problems that afflict the humanity. This discoveries changed and keep changing the relation between human and Nature, and divinity and his own self. But it is undeniable that at passed moments, the extreme belief in the power of science and reason lead questionable ideologies of scientificity, as the social darwinism, the sociobiology, the eugenism, the totalitarian communism and as much others. Other problems also can still come from studious hints of prominent of that the human beings are only one mount of neurons or only vehicles for the genes propagation, or even more, that we are only machines. It seems that this type of reductionism render un-service to the human beings, the society and science. As we will try to demonstrate in elapsing of this thesis, the propagation of the scientific knowledge for the common sense, is impregnated of this determinist conception of if thinking and making science. We can find in the most different fields of scientific knowledge, of psychology to sociology, of economy to engineering, a lot of common arguments, based in genetic and evolutionary Biology that, in last the two decades, is gaining a surprising space of argument knowing in them above. As if it had a biological determination for everything and all. It was from the formative and informative material analysis circulating in the common sense, and of the posterior confirmation of this `impregnation' that appears the necessity and the fidget to produce a critical and more penetrating study of these questions, searching to hear some of the most recognized researchers of the field to know that has some bedding in what e is notified and many times officially published about subject.
