“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

Abstract In the 1970s‚ an investigator named John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. The guppies live in small streams that flow down the mountains from pool to pool. The experiment will take part on an online simulation of Endler’s work. The group of members is responsible for collecting data‚ formulating a hypothesis‚ and running a series of experiments. They will find out about the interplay between natural selection and sexual selection in this wild population of

’s books‚ in web descriptions of the giraffe‚ and in textbooks. One of the first evolutionary thinkers‚ Jean-Baptist Lamarck‚ offered a short description of how the giraffe evolved. This was published in 1809. A little over sixty years later‚ Charles Darwin commented on giraffe evolution. This was published in 1872. The time that all this was starting to be looked into was in the 1800’s. But the giraffe itself evolved millions of years ago. Giraffes are known to live mostly in Africa. The problem

Throughout history‚ religion and science have been in constant clashes‚ and one of the most recent clashes is whether if creationism and/or intelligent design should be taught in public schools.
