    The Biological Sciences Degree Course should enable undergraduates to understand how life has been organized over time, implying an understanding of evolutionary mechanisms as an integrating axis of initial teacher training. Therefore, history has shown that since man began to ask himself about the origin of the first living beings, ideas of a mythological, philosophical, religious, and scientific nature were outlined and gained enormous space in discussions about the History of Life (HL). These discussions are present in high school biology classes, often reverberating in mixed explanations that hinder the appropriation of biological knowledge. In our investigation, we considered the HL as a topic of Biological Evolution teaching since it concerns the macroevolutionary processes responsible for the emergence of large groups of living beings. As already mentioned, the objective of this research is to verify the didactic role of the images related to HV which are present in the High School Biology Textbooks approved in the 2018 edition of the National Textbook Program (PNLD-2018). From this perspective, we opted for the use of an analytical instrument, built from semiotic analysis references, to understand the illustrated aspects of the subject HV in the investigated material. Thus, we found that the majority of analyzed images can be classified as inoperative, which means that there is no functionality beyond illustration. From this result, the fact is that images have been increasingly used in textbooks in order to improve the understanding of the conceptual contents of Biology. Hence, in order for the imagery contents to be able to the expected demands by them in the teaching-learning process, further investigations in this area need to be carried out.
