This is especially true when evaluating their beliefs about the fossil record‚ disagreement with the theory of saltation‚ and the misinterpretation of the word "rapid" in terms of punctuationist theory

Natural selection Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution‚ along with mutation‚ migration‚ and genetic drift. Darwin’s grand idea of evolution by natural selection is relatively simple but often misunderstood. To find out how it works‚ imagine a population of beetles: 1. There is variation in traits. For example‚ some beetles are green and some are brown. 2. There is differential reproduction. Since the environment can’t support unlimited population growth‚ not all individuals

Evolutionists have different view about the origin and evolution of life (steady development of the diversity of living things from a common ancestor). Evolutionists say that living and non-living things arose from natural procedure‚ and they believe that life can exist on any place on the universe. “If life

philosophers on human origins ’. Explore how the data on human emergence can become an interesting way to approach a philosophical anthropology. Since the time of Darwin it has been recognised that biological species are essential to the process of evolution. A species consists of a population rather than unconnected individuals. The population of any species is reproductively isolated from that of others because of the fertility criterion. This means that despite the cohabitation of similar species
