The theory of evolution by natural selection‚ first formulated in Darwin’s book “On the Origin of Species” in 1859‚ is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Scientists‚ and other professionals hold a large range of positions about religion and the act of supernatural forces or entities in the universe. Evolution is one of the best theories‚ because it is supported by evidence. There is two main points in evolution‚ which

The Theory of Natural Selection was first introduced by Charles Darwin. While on a voyage to the Galapagos Darwin observed how animals possess certain traits that allowed them “the best chance of survival”. The basic concept of natural selection is that the animals with traits considered advantageous are able to reproduce more offspring then animals that do not have these traits. The precepts of this theory are manifested by observing animals and their traits. In his book The Origin of Species Darwin

Natural selection is Charles Darwin’s most famous theory; it states that evolutionary change comes from genetic variation in each generation and the survival of individuals with different combinations of these variable traits. Organisms with such characteristics that increase their probability of survival in their environment will endure and possess more opportunities to reproduce. Over time these traits are passed on to their offspring and proliferate through the population. Darwin’s innovative

On this voyage‚ Darwin studied and collected information on various species from around the world‚ allowing him to develop his Theory of Natural Selection. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection suggests that organisms that are best suited for their environment will survive and produce offspring. In more basic terms‚ it means that natural selection is essentially

always the case to being a dominant species in a community. In this lab‚ we will explore the theory of natural selection‚ or as Charles Darwin put it‚ “Survival of the fittest” (King et al‚ 1-14). Through this concept‚ we will come to the understanding that being the fittest is not about being the strongest or most cunning‚ but simple having the best attributes to survive in a specific environment. For example‚ would a lion or a camel be the dominant race in the Sahara desert? The answer is the
