Eukaryotic microorganisms were present 1.5 billion years ago. As well as paleontologists in Australia‚ China‚ India‚ and the United States found helical compressions also. Charles Darwin predicted that fossilized impression of early animals would be found in Proterozoic rocks‚ and they did. However‚ it surprised Darwin to discover that most of the ancestors lived until the end of the Proterozoic time period and then died. Over 90 percent of five species of sponges have some of the same

Evolution is defined more specifically as a change in the genetic composition of a population‚ from generation to generation (Reece et al.‚ 2011). In this investigation into coevolution‚ in particular plant-animal coevolution‚ the adaptations and reasons for these adaptations in a specific example of plant-animal coevolution will

Different perceptions are the seeds of conflict. They cause arguments between opposing sides and often when an individual is adamant that they are correct‚ conflict can worsen.

In order to survive they were forced to make a change to their way of life. The last idea from Darwin is that humans will contine to evolve over time. This can be shown in The Time Machine when the Time Traveller is going through time and notices all of the very different and unique organisms. This just goes to show that humans haven’t stayed the
