Environmental Change Evolution is the process of change that occurs in living organisms over many generations. It is the result of natural selection by the environment of favourable variations in the organisms. Changes in the environment of living organisms can lead to the evolution of plant and animal species. These environmental changes in condition may be physical- temperature‚ rainfall‚ sea level and landforms e.g. Peppered Moths chemical- water salinity‚ acidity‚ use of pesticides‚ oxygen

In “Darwin’s Doubt” by Stephen Meyer‚ Meyer contends that scientists have yet to find a way to account for the Cambrian explosion. He argues that the theory of evolution is unable to provide an explanation for the rapid origin of animals with body plans.

Meyer supports this thesis by addressing three key topics‚ and later goes into great detail about these
