Although it is generally accepted that environmental features can select resistant individuals within species and resistant species within ecosystems, most of our understanding of the evolutionary process´ interactions between the environment and life forms is extremely limited and controversial. This article focuses on the hypothesis that living organisms at ontogenic stages could be considered biomarkers of the successive interactions with the environmental agents during the evolutionary process including their influence on the environment toward a living planet. A proposal for a universal brand name to link all fields related to ontogenesis and evolution is suggested.
