evolution became very well-known when Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species. Here he explained about his belief in what he called natural selection. Years later‚ after reading all about natural selection and becoming quite intrigued by it‚ a man by the name of Herbert Spencer‚ a polymath philosopher‚ came up with a synonym phrase for natural selection: “survival of the fittest.” This term‚ although referring to the capabilities of species to adapt to their environments‚ soon became a term

of light moths decreased. 10. Natural selection was a theory originally proposed by Charles Darwin that stated if one characteristic caused a specific individual to live longer‚ they would have more offspring. As the trait is passed on‚ more individuals in the species will look like the successful individual with the trait. Therefore‚ a species will change or evolve over time. 11. J.W. Tutt first suggested that peppered moths were an example of natural selection in 1896. 12. Industrial melanism

organism cannot evolve by itself. Natural selection is survival of the fittest‚ so the adaptations are relative to each other. 3 Explain how Mendel’s particulate hypothesis of inheritance provided much needed support for Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. ~Mendel’s hypothesis of inheritance supported Darwin’s theory of natural selection because Mendel’s theory accounts for the more subtle variations within a population that are central to natural selection. 4 Distinguish between discrete

In Odysseus’s account he had not one but two paths to choose from throughout his travels. Low and behold the route chosen was straight down the middle‚ creating his very own path. According to Stephan Jay Gould‚ Charles Darwin embodies Odysseus when it comes to analyzing a situation. Stephan Jay Gould also suggests that humans

Now largely discredited‚ it was advocated by Herbert spencer and others in late 19th century and early 20th century and was used to justify political conservatism‚ imperialism‚ and racism and discourage intervention and reform. Social darwinism is important because of the idea of humans like animals and plants‚ compete in a struggle for existence in which natural selection results in survival of the fittest.Herbert

Proof For Evolution Evolution‚ ever since its introduction by James Hutton in the early 1700s‚ has been a very controversial topic with many people opposing the various theories presented by scientists throughout the years. In modern science‚ evolution has come to be accepted by many scientists around the world‚ with significant amounts of evidence from various fields of science provided to support Charles Darwin’s theory of naturally selective evolution - “survival of the fittest” and adaptation
