This paper addresses the question of the function that ontological metaphors perform in the theory of evolution presented by Charles Darwin in his book On the Origin of Species. The analysis focuses on three concepts: (evolutionary) change, species/variety and natural selection as well as two types of ontological metaphors: objectification and personification. We claim that ontological metaphors constitute an indispensable step in conceptualization of abstract concepts and their precipitation in language. We have established that objectification and personification of the investigated concepts cannot be removed through paraphrase into literal language and that these metaphors shaped subsequent studies within the field of evolutionary biology. Consequently, we believe that ontological metaphors have primarily a theory-constitutive function, and the exegetical function is only marginal.
