All organisms alive today have been, is and will be evolving. Therefore nothing in Biology makes sense except in light of evolution. For example, in medicine, the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics would not make sense except for evolution. If a drug has been killing bacteria so effectively (e.g. penicillin) for decades, why would it start to gradually become less and less effective? The answer lies in the fact that the drug creates an enormous selection pressure in favour of resistance, and this leads to an increase in the proportion of resistant bacteria in each generation. This process is an artificial and miniature version of evolution but it is evolution nonetheless. In nature, the selection pressure is usually much smaller and the process takes much longer (millions of years instead of decades).
Because it ties everything together quite nicely.
One thing is the ability to predict the seasonal flu by its mutation rate.
The theory of evolution is relevant to every aspect of the science of biology. It shows relationships between different aspects of biology which otherwise would not seem to be related. Thus, it unifies the science of biology.
He presented a theory of evolution.
ethological theory
this is because he looked at how small bacteria evolved through the years & made us, US! Answer Charles Darwin propounded the mechanism of evolution of all life, Natural Selection. Darwin is important as he is famed for the theory that is the baseline of all biology, the Theory of Evolution.
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species (biology) spatially (geography) and temporally (history). Biogeography aims to reveal where organisms live, at what abundance, and why they are or are no) found in a certain geographical area. Biogeography does not support the theory of evolution any more then when (history) you (biology) moved into your house (geography).

Many different theory hold modern biology together --------------------------- The answer they were looking for is 'evolution'.
In every way.
evolution
The central theory of modern biology, which illuminates all aspects of that science.
No theory contradicts evolution. Evolution is the basepoint of all Biology.
The vulgar meaning of theory is that one " guesses ", or just has an idea over a cup of coffee. The scientific meaning, which is the primary meaning in any good dictionary, is that theory is basically an explanation of phenomenon,( observation, fact, law, ) and this is logically consistent internally and supported by many lines of converging evidence. Simply put, the theory of evolution by natural selection is the cornerstone of biology. Biology would be an exercise in natural history " stamp collecting " is not for the theory of evolution by natural selection explaining so much ( not everything ) about evolution.
The scientific movement accepts the Theory of Evolution. The Theory is the basis for the science of biology.
I study evolution because it is the concept that underlies all of biology. Biology would still be natural history without the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection is the overarching theory that underpins all of biology while explaining much about the fact of evolution. " Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution. " Dobzansky.
Learning about the theory of evolution is crucial as it is the foundation of modern biology and helps explain the diversity of life on Earth. Understanding evolution also fosters critical thinking skills, scientific literacy, and a better appreciation of the natural world.

The better question would be; what biological sciences DO NOT support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Evolution is the backbone of biology and the theory that explains much about evolution is the bedrock on which all biology is built, regardless of the apparent absence in some disciplines of biology. It is no longer just Darwin's theory as many disciplines not formed then, and some extant then, have added to and refined the theory. Genetics Molecular cell biology. Evolutionary developmental biology. Biochemistry. Geology. Paleontology. Population generics. Botany. Evolutionary biology. And the list can go on. Google, disciplines in biology, wiki.
