Predator Maniacs Background Being able to explain what is meant by natural selection -Natural Selection is where organisms adapt to their environment and tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was founded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution. Being able to explain why changing environments change population characteristics. -It is because each environment has a different type of species living in it and might not

static law dictating a single direction or outcome.

Darwin claims that‚ “as many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive… there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence.”3 He describes this existence as occurring inside complex and varying conditions of life affected

From the scientist’s point of view‚ Darwins theory of evolution led them to believe highly in the reasoning of Neanderthals being

Today we have artificial selection which is the reproduction of two organisms with help from humans to create desired traits. You theorized that homologous and analogous structures helped support your theory of evolution. Three things you studied‚ homologous structures‚ analogous structures‚ and natural selection‚ greatly helped prove your theory of evolution among species. Homologous structures are very important when discussing the theory of evolution. Homologous structures are structures in organisms

What lands and observations inspired Darwin to develop his theory of evolution? Darwin started by studying with proclaimed geologists learning how to map lands and animals and develop theories.
