“A curious aspects of the theory of evolution is that everybody thinks he understand it” (Jacques Monod)
This is not surprising that the roots of all our evolutionary thinking go back to Darwin. Darwin’s theory of evolution is a bundle of theories. And in order to fully understand Darwin’s theory of evolution we should distinguish its different components. Which are evolution, speciation, common ancestry, natural selection. A little explanation of these points or theories is as following:
Evolution as Such This simply means that this world was not as always as in its current form. Rather than it gradually changed and changing and so is the case with the organisms that lived in this …show more content…
None of the creationists had ever explained why different type of species have same features in different forms. There answer might be that “God knows better”. But evolution does explain this by convergent evolution. The reason behind it is very simple that the species that live in similar habitat will experience similar pressures from their environment to adopt similar features despite the fact that they belong to different species. Convergent evolution demonstrate three aspects of the theory of evolution working together; common ancestors, speciation and natural
