You can find that video at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/darwin-never-knew.html . This web page has lots of information that explains evolution theory and it is a good addition to this NC Live video in developing an understanding of how genes adapt to change through time.

Charles Darwin also known as the father of evolution used selective breeding to help gather proof for his schedueled system for how evolution works by experimenting with animals such as birds. This topic has gotten alot of contreversy as it is considered as unethical action done by us humans. Selective breeding is a form of selection in which

Evolution is the change of something over time. The evolution of our earth‚ and it species has been a very debated topic over time. There is a lot of evidence that supports evolution and you have found a lot of great evidence that proved this theory to be true. The proposal that species variation locally‚ globally and over time was your idea‚ and is agreed with widely today. Natural selection is one of your other theories that is known all over the world today. Both natural selection and species

Doubting Darwin Doubting Darwin covers a few of many beliefs in how we came to be‚ evolution and intelligent design‚ and how it has influenced the world and in the education system.

What is evolution? The theory of evolution is one of the great intellectual revolutions of human history‚ drastically changing our perceptions of the world and of our place in it (1). The theory of evolution states that all lifeforms on earth share a common ancestor as a result of variation and selection over a long period of time (around 4 million years) (2). Variation means that offspring are not exact copies of their parents and selection occurs when only some of those offspring go on to reproduce
