Max Nordau’s Degeneration and Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species argues about the evolution and degeneration of Earth's species; but what about species on other planets? In H.G. Wells’ War Of The Worlds martians eventually ended up degenerating. Also in his novel the martians mainly have the same organs and functions of a human. And so that leads me to ask the question.

Evolution is the process of organisms developing to the standards to survive than from before. The theory of evolution, or Darwinism, was constructed by a biologist who lived during the nineteenth century with the name of Charles Darwin. The theory of evolution is mainly based in Darwin's On The Origin of Species. This research book describes how species will develop and will survive. It elaborates how every species that is able to reproduce and survive to reproduce will increase its population and live. After a long amount of time population will increase but will soon become the same size. This is because of once the population gets too big it will eventually eat most of the prey causing it to almost die because of starvation. Along with since there is so many of the species the animal above it will soon start to eat most of it causing the original species prey to stop eating the bottom prey all causing it to balance out. The theory also exclaims the facts that even though there is limited amount of food there will always be enough or a stable amount for all species to survive comfortably. Another fact that Darwin states is that all individuals of a species are different from one another. This can cause some individuals to survive in more areas than
