Natural Selection is “a mechanism… whereby an organism has characteristics enabling it to survive under current environment conditions. It will then pass these characteristics to its offspring” . The theory of Natural Selection was first published by Charles Darwin in the 19th century after hearing that another scientist‚ Alfred Wallace‚ was publishing a similar theory.

She takes the Finches to the black church and acts like it’s nothing special despite what other people may say‚ ‘you ain’t got no business bringin’ white chillum here ’ they got their church‚ we got our’n.’ Irrespective of her best efforts to teach the Finches that black and white people are equal and the same‚ Calpurnia has a split personality one for when she is around white people

Had Scout not done this‚ Mr. Cunningham never would have considered things from Atticus’s point of view and the mob would have hurt Atticus and killed Tom.

Also‚ on his travels‚ Darwin read Lyrell’s ‘Principles of Geology’‚ which suggested that the fossils found in rocks were actually evidence of animals that had lived many thousands or even millions of years ago.
