Evolution Persuasive Speech
The other day, you brought up the new anglerfish species. I’m pleased you’ve taken an interest, but I don’t think you understand some of the concepts you brought up. So I want to help you understand how evolution works, and better understand how creatures like the Lasiognathus dinema evolved.
I first want to address Charles Darwin’s concept on evolution. You stated that only the strongest and most important species survive. While strength is an important variable in survival, an organism’s fitness is not related to always related to strength but also has to do with finding a mate, finding and/or hunting food, and surviving sudden environmental changes. For example, the American Robin’s chance at mating revolves around their plumage (feathers).
