Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who was famous for his theory of evolution and natural selection. He states that evolution is when populations grow and adapt to their environment over time. Our lab is heavily based on the ideas of natural selection. Natural selection is when nature breeds the species of plants or animals a certain way, to help survive the harsh conditions of their surroundings (Pearson 2010). It relates to the term, “survival of the fittest”, or when the species grow and adapt to their surroundings, in order to survive better (Pearson 2010). The dots in the experiment relate to the animals or plants in the habitat. They have to survive for predators by camouflaging and adapting to their environment. Our purpose of the experiment was to pick out the seen dots from the experiment. Our hypothesis was that the green and black dots would be harder to see and would survive the best since our habitat consisted mostly of those two colors. Those dots would then survive to the next round and they would reproduce.
