Over hundreds of thousands of generations‚ ontogenesis‚ structure and process of human nature and personality have been constructed by natural and sexual selection. This revolutionary concept about organic evolution‚ better known as the ‘theory of evolution’ was first introduced in 1859 by English naturalist Charles Darwin. (Maltby‚ Day & Macaskill‚ 2013) He believed that all living beings evolved from simple organisms and have changed throughout periods of time to create many various types of species

development of resistance against methicillin. To sum up in short‚ evolution is an often lengthy process of modification through a species of organisms. There are two main theories of evolution the correct of the two is Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection. Evolution can be proven through embryos‚ fossils‚ anti-biotic resistant bacteria and much more. Darwin’s theory also applies to St. Aureus as an overuse of antibiotics accelerated the evolution leading to the development of MRSA. MRSA is a type

(Earth) we live on today have thousands of species (flora‚ fauna and organisms) of all different features‚ family and history of growth and survival. The theory of natural selection introduces the theory of survival of the fittest flora and fauna‚ where one survives only if it is fit for the nature. The theory of natural selection in easy terms is that the one who fits is the one who stays. Darwin says the one that fights against and with the nature for its survival is the one that are still present

from one generation to another and gives rise to diversity at every stage of the organism’s biological organisation. The process of evolution was not well understood until 19th century when Charles Darwin proposed the scientific theory of natural selection as a driving tool in evolution. The process involved both the macroevolution in which organisms went through major evolutionary changes over a long period of time and acquired different traits from different parents or ancestries and the microevolution

AO1 Psychologists suggest that there is a relationship between human sexual selection and reproductive success. Explaining this relationship there is intra-sexual selection and inter-sexual selection. Intra-sexual selection suggests that members of the same sex compete with each other in order to get a member of the opposite sex and ensure reproductive success. The winner mates and then passes on their genes. Whichever traits led to their success i.e. health because there genes are stronger‚ will

Mirvart targets Darwin’s theory of evolution by opposing Darwin’s idea of Natural selection. Darwin believes that Natural selection is the reason why evolution occurs. Although Mirvart does believe in the concept evolution‚ he disagrees with the idea that natural selection is the reason as to how and why things evolve. Mirvart uses the example of the neck of the giraffe to disprove Darwin’s theory. Suppose there is a drought which causes limitation on food supply. The Ungulates of that habitat

species that is better adapted for these changes will survive and those who are not will at some point no longer exist. This process is referred to as natural selection. Due to natural selection‚ we have evolution as a result. Evolution is the process by which previous organisms affect the development of future organisms. Natural selection is often referred to as survival of the fittest because those with the most desirable traits will outlast

is the change in the genetic makeup of the gene pool of a population. It refers to the change in allelic frequencies that occur from generation to generation. There are three ways that microevolution can occur: mutation‚ genetic drift and natural selection. Mutation is the change in a gene of the DNA of an organism. This may change an allele and possibly the alleles frequency in the gene pool of the population. Genetic drift is an unpredictable change in a populations allelic frequencies from generation

relationship between sexual selection and human reproductive behaviour. (24 marks) The nature of sexual selection is derived from the evolutionary theory. This suggests that the people who we choose to have sex with has been born into us and is an innate response we have. It also suggests that all behaviours are adaptive‚ including relationship formation‚ therefore forming a relationship should help out ‘survival’ in the way of passing on our genes. There are 2 types of sexual selection‚ of inter and intra

Natural selection is the driving force in evolution because it is what trait offspring. There are many cases of evidence showing this such as the peppered moth population‚ the blue mussels‚ and the finches that we studied. The peppered is a very good example of natural selection because there is already black moths in the population‚ but the peppered survived better before the industrial revolution.Though when the industrial revolution comes in the lichens on the trees die and the peppered moth
