Journal 2 I have always been interested in evolution‚ probably due to my innate inability to accept what people say on “face value”. I believe (as I have taught my children) to question anything and everything which would explain my passion and interest in the evolution of psychology.

Evolution of Polar Bears The observed fossil transitions that inform our knowledge of Polar Bear speciation are very well documented.

Evolution in biology is a genetic change in a line of descent over time. The evolution of life on Earth has resulted in many hundreds of thousands of species. Genetic evidence reveals that humans share a common ancestor with life forms as different from us as bacteria and corn plants. In early 1800s‚ the source of Earth’s remarkable diversity of life forms was hotly disputed. Many people believed that all species had come into existence at the same time in the distant past.
