naturalist‚ Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) to his mother‚ in an 1854 letter from Singapore. A. R. Wallace went on to propose the evolutionary theory of natural selection (independent of Charles Darwin) in the midst of his 8-year stay in Southeast Asia. Very simply put‚ natural selection means that the species with the more favourable adaptations will survive in the long term whereas the ones with the less favourable traits will become extinct. In March 1854‚ the self-taught Wallace left Britain on a

Inheritance: This is another theory by Gregor Mendel. He was trying to answer the question‚ “How are traits from parents

Meselson–Stahl experiment From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia The Meselson–Stahl experiment was an experiment by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl in 1958 which supported the hypothesis that DNA replication was semiconservative. In semiconservative replication‚ when the double stranded DNA helix is replicated each of the two new double-stranded DNA helices consisted of one strand from the original helix and one newly synthesized. It has been called "the most beautiful experiment in biology

Human curiosity has led the search for scientific explanations for natural phenomena‚ including the question of what makes a person who they are. The ideas of racial thinkers of the 18th and 19th century provided theories for how differences between people came about.
