    evaluate an article called ’Human Evolution: New Playgrounds for Natural Selection’. This article was published on May 20th 2013‚ by Emmanuel Milot and Fanie Pelletier. This article was published in the ’current biology’ journal volume 23‚ issue 10. I chose this article because it deals with natural selection‚ which was talked a lot about in Chapter one in our learning and behavior book. Over time a lot of change took place‚ and a lot of it was due to natural selection and how our bodies and traits changed

    STATED CLEARLY: EVOLUTION AND NATURAL SELECTION (TRANSCRIPT) What exactly is evolution? In biology‚ the theory of evolution doesn’t exactly tell us how life began on Earth‚ but tells us how life‚ once it came into existence‚ diversified into the many incredible forms we see now and in the fossil record. It also helps us make sense of the way in which modern creatures continue to adapt and change today. In biology‚ evolution can be defined as: ‘Any change in the heritable traits (those are physical

    Evolution is the theory that organisms are‚ and have always been‚ evolving throughout time. We have also discussed the idea of natural selection‚ one part of the evolution theory. Over the past few weeks we have slowly started to dive into the theory of evolution and natural selection. In this paper‚ I will explain what natural selection is‚ and give an example of natural selection and how it relates to evolution. Natural selection is the idea that the organisms that are best suited for the environments

    disappointed in the monkey.” (Mark Twain). Evolution is a very confusing and complex topic. There is so many different thoughts‚ sides and beliefs when it come to evolution. One main belief of evolution is natural evolution‚ ¨that is which the Earth’s species have changed and diversified through time under the influence of natural selection.¨ (www.dictionary.com). This the scientific take on evolution and a lot of people in the public believe

    The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has been highly scrutinized since its first publication in 1859. The theory states‚ “the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring”. This theory is the basis of all biological sciences‚ and it lays the foundation for various scientific schools of thought. However‚ as in all things

    Chapter ten focused primarily on evolution and natural selection. Evolution are the changes in traits‚ phenotypes‚ of groups of organisms over time. Darwin was influenced by Lamark and Malthus‚ who were other scientists during his time. Lamar believed that acquired characters are passed on to offspring. For example‚ giraffe necks would change for “adaptation”. Giraffes would be born with longer necks. Malthus believed that populations try to go beyond support capacity. He believed they go through

    UNIT 1 – LESSON 2 NOTES Natural Selection and Evidence for Evolution:  The mechanism for evolution is called Natural Selection to distinguish it from Artificial Selection.  Evolution occurs at the population level because genetics don’t change. The frequencies of different genetic types (genotypes) within a population do change over time & can create new species.  There is genetic variation in all populations; some individuals are successful at surviving and finding resources & produce

    medicine. Even though humans have certainly gained more knowledge‚ there are still forces of evolution that cannot be stopped. These forces include; genetic drift‚ gene flow‚ and natural selection. Thus‚ by observing these principles in Darwin’s theory of evolution‚ it is reasonable to assume that the natural evolution of the human species will continue. Genetic drift is always occurring in

    Evolution is the changing of gene frequency in a population over time. Natural selection is where animals with advantageous characteristics produce more offspring‚ therefore passing down favoured genes. In the more developed parts of the world‚ medical care and access to food means natural selection is lesser‚ as selective forces that were there before e.g some diseases and predators‚ are no longer there. Therefore‚ some humans that have characteristics that would have previously meant they produce

    theory and explained it through ‘natural selection’. Natural selection simply means that there are variations among species that have different traits‚ and those traits differ by their fit to certain environmental conditions. Furthermore‚ some species with traits better suited to the certain environment are likely to survive‚ whereas‚ those species with traits that are not very suited to the particular environment eventually go extinct. Evolution and natural selection have a special connection between
