Evolution

Evolution is the theory that everything on the earth as it is now took a different form on earth over billions of years ago.

A woman by the name of Jean Lamarck proposed a theory that over an organism’s lifetime not all of its genetic traits are passed down leading to the changes over the spans of “billions of years of life on earth.”

A man named Charles Darwin developed one of the most widely known theories of evolution to to this day.

Hi theory was that based on the concept of Natural Selection.

Natural Selection is made up of a Survival of the Fittest of sorts.

It is like that because it was said that only certain organisms were adaptable to certain climates and environments.

So when a group of organisms found an environment they could dwell safely in they would in a way take out all of the species who couldn’t.

So when they did that most of the other species had a chance to go extinct while the adaptable species past down the traits that made it adaptable.

The theory of Evolution is the concept that organisms are capable of genetically self modifying to become a completely different species. (WHICH MAKES NO SENSE!!!!)

There is something called adaptation which is when a species have an trait that helps them.

The adaptations are what linked the different organisms together through genetic ancestry allowing scientists to try to figure out which species “evolved from which.”

Nowadays some scientists have tried a process on organisms known as genetic mutation.

Genetic mutation is when somethings genetic traits get altered to either enhance a skill or increase an organism’s chance at survival.

There is something call geographic isolation which is pretty much the thought process that if a single organism from a species is separated it is not able to evolve the way the species does.

There is also something called selective breeding which is where specific species breed.

Scientists believe that organisms evolve over millions of years.

Evolutionists used fossils as their main source of evidence.

Evolutionists also use the homologous structures as evidence to their theory of organisms evolving into other organisms.

A big theory that Evolutionists have is that Primates evolved into humans.

They believed that because the primates had so much in common with the humans.
