Evolutionary medicine

An individual within a population with an advantageous trait is more likely to survive than the individual without that trait. This means the species without the advantageous trait have a higher chance of dying and will most likely reduce in number. If the trait is heritable, the individual with the trait will produce offspring with that trait and actively grow in number since the trait allows them to better survive in their environment. This is natural selection. Natural selection is the force…

The lecture this week discussed evolution and development. While Darwin believed that natural selection worked with individuals, the synthetic theory states that genes determine all traits that heritable. While the synthetic theory of evolution combined Darwinian evolution and genetics, it chose genes as the only focus of natural selection, hence an organism can be seen as the “vehicle” for genes because they are what create these individuals to deal with the environment to make more genes. So,…

Darwin's evolutionary view of the world has been of the greatest human achievements of the human race. However, the evolution theory itself evolves over time, as it is expected from any other living entity. The modern evolutionary synthesis was the first major update to the Darwins model. The main idea behind update was integrating the latest achievements and understandings from biology in the original evolutionary framework. But it was not the last update. These years, a new group of…

Evolution says that organisms would change their type by natural selection but this is only happened in microevolution. I will explain what is microevolution? Microevolution is about that the variation among the species. With environment changing, some species would change their type to adapt environment. But no matter how they change, they are still same species. This is microevolution. Evolutionist only can verify microevolution is true. However, can evolutionists prove that macroevolution is…

“On the Origin of Species” (fully titled “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life”), was published by Charles Darwin in 1859. This book is modern foundation of evolutionary biology. Although the idea of evolution had been discussed widely prior to Darwin, there wasn’t a widely accepted mechanism by which evolution could occur. This mechanism is known as natural selection or the survival of the fittest. Interestingly…

How the Animal World Evolves Charles Darwin, in an excerpt from his book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, explains exactly how the animal world evolves. He brings together what he learned from years of research as a ship’s naturalist along the coast of South America to explain his scientific theory of natural selection and sexual selection. Darwin explains that if an organism has any deviation from its species normal traits, natural selection is the process through which…

Charles Darwin’s studies on natural selection showed how living organisms are unique but share similarities as well. His observations on the Galapagos finches were a prime example of unity and diversity of life. He concluded that the several species of finches derived from one common ancestor. Over time, the ancestral finches migrated to the other islands in the Galapagos and after many generations they gradually evolved differently to be able to adapt to their respective environments. He called…

around the world and learned about types of invertebrates.2 He has also studied medicine and written many books including The Origin of Species.2 These are just a few things about Charles Darwin that he has done in his life Charles Darwin has done a lot for the scientific world. Darwin came from a long line of scientists including his father and grandfather.2 When Darwin was only 16 his father sent him to study medicine.2 Once Darwin finished college he went on a voyage around the world on the…

Since the beginning of time, people from all cultures, all religions and all regions of Mother Earth have contemplated and thought of how and why we came to existence. Some say reincarnation, some say God, some actually say aliens. (UFOSHOTSPOT.COM) But really, what it comes down to is something that most people can’t deny, the facts are evident. 46% of the American population believe in Evolution, “That poll found that a quarter of Americans believe humans and other species evolved "without…

evolution is indeed true. The tenets of evolutionary theory are simple: Life evolved, largely under the influence of…
