Methodological analysis of theoretical essence of evolutionary biology points at peculiar diachronical structure of this discipline of biological knowledge. Its peculiarity, till now methodologically not conceptualized, is a bi-level form of this structure.
The first level of this structure, called morphological-populational, is determined by- if not mention obvious historical conditions (as e.g. the concept of Linneusz) - Darwin theory and ecological-populational theory of evolution. The second level is described as, due to Mendel’s discovery, as genetic-populational, fundamentally consist of: Hardy-Weinberg’s Law and genetic-populational theory of evolution. Between these levels there are two specific methodological relations classifying the presented contents, so that the final result is so called: the map of theoretical relations that take place in evolutional biology.
The significant methodological insight is the fact that peculiarity of this structure of biological knowledge is a complex form, at least from two ,,levels” of ecological knowledge. Methodological explanation of this fact suggests, that it has some traits of generalization, it means that it has some importance in the field of biology, but also other disciplines of empirical sciences. It means that within this branch of science, researchers much more often deal with rather internally complex structure of the theory, rather than its simple forms.
