Scientific Concept:
Darwin’s Theory of
Evolution
Javier Pabe INT1-Task1
History of evolution before Darwin.
Evolution originally referred to the supposed series of changes that a species was predetermined to undergo, in the same way that an embryo is preprogrammed to develop.
Before Darwin, transmutation of species generally meant that a species as a whole changed into a more complex species through some (unspecified) process.
Darwin introduced the “Origin of species” theory in
1859. Then, the whole scientific idea and view on evolution changed.
Darwin’s view on evolution
Darwin noticed that change was not necessarily a process of continue development until perfection
Darwin presented a specific mechanism, called natural selection, that explained why new species were different in appearance and behavior
Darwin also noticed that the origin of a new species did not involve an whole entire species’ undergoing change.
He was able to determine that the origination of a new species might occur in only a part of the parental species, therefore, he discovered a subpopulation of such specie can exist. The remaining populations of the specie could remain the same with no changes to their appearance.
Scientific examples that prove Darwinism
Biochemistry is the study of cells. The biochemistry study shows that all of Earth’s organisms share a common ancestry and that their cells are particular similar
Comparative anatomy is the comparison of the structures of different living things. This can be referenced to animals and how skeletons of humans, cats, whales, and bats, are similar even though these animals live unique lifestyles in very different environments.
Comparative embryology compares the embryos of different organisms. The embryos of many animals, from fish to humans, show similarities that suggest a common ancestor. Chernobyl Disaster
