Today the theory of evolution is a complex body of theory supported by other branches of science. In other words, we do not need the theory of evolution to know that evolution is a fact. However, in the mid-nineteenth century, the world was different.Continue Reading
Evolution theory, also known as evolutionary theory, or the theory of evolution, is based on the idea that all life on earth is related and gradually changes over time. The theory primarily explains the ongoing speciation of life since its emergence on Earth.Continue Reading
English scientist Charles Darwin introduced the theory of evolution through natural selection in 1859 with the publication of his book “On the Origin of Species”. This started a fierce argument among nineteenth-century scientists but the massive evidence coming from various other branches of science established evolution’s truth beyond a reasonable doubt before the twentieth century.Continue Reading
Natural selection says only the fit will surprise. The fit are those that have the inherited traits that help them best adapt to their habitat so that they live long enough to have and raise their offspring. Does this mean all of the inheritable traits of organisms ultimately serve one purpose: improve the adaptation of the organisms to their environments?Continue Reading
After the publication of “On the Origin of Species” by Charles Darwin, Evolution through natural selection was rather quickly adopted by scientists. However, in its infancy scientists imagined evolution as linear and progressive. Early expectation in scientific communities was that modern humans evolved from existing ape populations gradually, and that there had to be fossil evidence that link humans to apes.Continue Reading
Charles Darwin is the first human who made people aware of their place in the evolutionary process, which directly or indirectly helped develop many scientific and humanist ideas Continue Reading
Apes are not evolving into humans anymore. Does this mean that the school of thought born with Charles Darwin’s book “Descent of Man” published in 1871 was just a fallacy? Should scientists officially issue an acceptance to the Bible’s account of genesis? Or can it be that humans did not evolve from apes?Continue Reading
Tipped off by an article on economics on the survival of the fittest in the free market economy, the English biologist Charles Darwin initiated a study on the fish population. Little did he know that he was about to cause a dramatic change in thinking in natural sciences.Continue Reading
Evolution is a fact. It is not just a theory that may be falsified in the future. Even if it were, evolution would still be a fact. Theories change, facts don’t.Continue Reading
Evolution theory does encompass ideas and evidence regarding life’s origins, but this is not the central focus of evolution theory.Continue Reading
