    Evolution: The Mindless Mechanism Life began on earth 3.5 billion years ago with the presence of primitive single-celled organisms. It is from these organisms that all life evolved. Species diverge from one another through mechanisms of change such as mutation, migration, genetic drift, and natural selection. Though a mechanism of change, natural selection does not strive for perfection. Rather, it is a process resulting from variation in heritable traits. A mindless mechanism with no objective…

    I agree with the theory of evolution because there are many evidence for it. The evidence includes fossil record, species distributions, vertebrate development process and fossil layers and so on. First, fossil is very important for understanding biological evolution. It can tell us how the living creature evolved. Second, it is species distributions. According to theory of continental drift, it found out many similar fossils even in the place oversea. Third is vertebrate development process,…

    Charles Darwin was a 19th century naturalist who shaped the way we view nature and humanity. His theories of evolution completely reassessed how we understand the natural world through his ideas on natural selection. Darwin himself was largely inspired by a few other naturalists who predeceased him, mainly William Paley and Thomas Malthus, and it was their work, as well as his travels around the world, that led him to form his own theories and to change how nature, humans and biology are seen…

    Darwin 's theory of evolution is a widely held concept that all life is related through the descent of a common ancestor with modification. It presumes the development of life from non-life and how complex creatures evolve over time from more simplistic ancestors by a process called natural selection. According to Darwin’s observations and inferences, natural selection arises from heritable variations (i.e size, shape, behavior, color) among population members, high fertility rate, differences…

    The evolution of human beings has been a major research area with controversy being whether human beings evolved from the chimpanzee. Based on various theories and research reports that have been presented, scientists believe that a common ancestor to humans existed about 5 to 8 million years ago (Drake, 2015). It is believed that humans evolved from the modern apes such as the gorillas and the chimpanzees more than the monkeys. In the quest to find out the real answers regarding the origin of…

    questioned his own theory, by those who study the biology field and others that study evolution.

During…

    Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that occurs by random chance rather than natural selection. In genetic drift, a population experiences a change in the frequency of a given allele, prompted by random luck rather than a need for adaptation. This differs from natural selection, in which allelic frequency is altered based on the fittest genes surviving to reproduce and the weaker genes dying off. Genetic drift tends to be a phenomenon amongst smaller populations, while natural selection…
