So, what is it you would like to state ~ maybe that the principles of evolution are TAUGHT as part of a program of education in biology and biological processes?
BTW, if you really did need a "base" for understanding bilogy, I'd think you'd have to have CHEMISTRY under your belt first before you got into the metaphysics of evolutionary processes.
The study of it or biology itself? The study has changed significantly -- we know a lot more now than we did.
"Modern biology is like ancient biology. Biology hasn't changed."
Wrong. Ancient "biology" was belief that sickness was due to the devil. Modern biology is very materialist. Ancient biology was superstitious and belief in a supernatural driving force and either praying or sacrifice would resolve material things.

The principles of evolution cover all aspects of modern biology. Indeed, without it, biology would not be like today.

Evolutionary processes is not metaphysics. Belief in an intelligent creator that created humans and "gave" him 2 legs to stand on, however, is.
Intelligent design process: = humans are given two arms for handling things and two legs for mobility.
Evolutionary process = quadpedal primates turned into bipedals due to the adaptation to the (changing) natural environment(desertification of eastern Africa) and the need to stay ahead of savanna predators.
