Several studies have investigated the human being dimension in the field of Biological Sciences.From the understanding of the curricula included in official documents and didactic books, it can be realized that the discussions on the theme are mainly focused on the body.This paper intends to demonstrate that Biological Sciences, rooted in the evolutionist paradigm, have presented new versions on the human origin, nature and finitude.Thinking about who we are, where we came from and where we are going under the evolutionist point of view enlarges the set of possible discourses on the human being and poses alternative assumptions, other than those traditionally established by religion beliefs.The debate about the influences introduced by these two fields, religion and science, on the concept of the human being by the Biology teacher may be thought-provoking and raise discussions on ethics and cultural differences, among other topics.Within this context, the purpose of this research is to identify influences of the evolutionist and creationist theories on the conceptions of "human being", starting from these three existential issues (who we are, where we came from and where we are going), according to answers provided by Biological Sciences students from the University of the State of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), Tangará da Serra campus.The research also sought possible relationships between the aforementioned trends and some elements of the social and cultural profiles of these students.Two data collection processes were carried out.Firstly, a collective interview was conducted, the results of which were used in the preparation of the second instrument of the research, a multiple-choice questionnaire.The interview involved 10 students, from the second to the seventh period and the questionnaire was applied to all the students who were present at the data collection dates, totaling 159 individuals.Oral data was transcribed and interpreted through theme analysis of the content and the numeric data was processed through specific statistics software and subsequently described and tested.The debate on the human being within the Biology education program stands for the articulation point of different forms of knowledge and understanding of reality.Our discussion, specifically, was very fruitful for understanding the relationship between the evolutionist and creationist explanations about the position of humankind in the Universe.On the other hand, our approach uncovered the need for more careful thinking about the human dimension in the teaching-learning process of Biological Sciences, which should include other aspects besides the biomedical one
