colleagues of Malou in the Medical Profession‚ to our distinguish guest‚ our friends and relatives‚ welcome and thank you for being here. Allow me to share an article I encountered several days before this occasion. In the 18th century‚ Charles Darwin faced the biggest question of his life: To Marry or Not to Marry.

Natural Selection Natural selection is a theory created by Charles Darwin. This theory explains that organisms that are more adapted to their habitat live longer and are more likely to pass on their traits through reproduction. For example‚ a green tree frog in a green rainforest would be more adapt than a gray tree frog. A green tree frog has the potential to blend in with the green surroundings‚ but the gray tree frog would be easily spotted by a predator and eaten due to its color and inability

they are today. A very famous English naturalist Charles Darwin put forth the idea of natural selection and adaptation and this is a very valid point in evolutionary psychology. There are a variety of arguments relating to evolutionary psychology such a nature versus nurture debate which is in the process of deciding whether human behaviour is determined by genes or is it more decided by the environment humans are in. Charles Darwin attempted to explain the vast diversity of living organisms

Andrew Day Bio Extra Credit Two weeks before Charles Darwin died he wrote a short paper about a clam clamped to a water beetle in a pond in the English Midlands. The man’s son that sent him the beetle worked together with his son and discovered that what Darwin said about evolution was correct. The vindication came from a book that said every organism has a certain chemical code called DNA. Darwin surmised that all Galapagos finches were close cousins and he explained this in his book The

This lab experiments with the evolution of finches on two different islands over 100‚ 200‚ and 300 years. By manipulating parameters that influence natural selection‚ the effects that natural selection have on the evolution process can be studied. HYPOTHESES • The size of the island will influence

selection." The valuable mutations move on to the next generation of the species‚ organism or creature. Over time‚ the valuable transformation of the original specie builds up. This eventually results as a completely different species‚ or organism. Darwin is credited with this information largely in part because of a study done while he was in the Galapagos Islands.

world came to be what it is today. We will first start with the theory of evolution. Charles Robert Darwin‚ was born on the 12th of February 1809‚ and is the founder of evolutionary theory. He initially planned to follow a medical career‚ and studied medicine‚ but later switched to divinity. In 1831‚ he joined a five year scientific expedition on the survey ship‚ HMS beagle. While on the ship‚ Darwin read Lyell’s ‘Principles of Geology’ which suggested that the fossils found in rocks were actually
