Charles Darwin's Theory Of Natural Selection

Charles Darwin was the man who created the idea that people weren’t created from God, but rather animals. He suspected that humans evolved from monkeys or apes due to the many similarities between the two. But what Darwin found fascinating is that after every generations, the offspring would be more immuned, much stronger, and more intelligent then their ancestors. This would help the offspring adapt better to their surroundings. Darwin called this theory Natural Selection. “Natural Selection is the preservation of a functional advantage that enables a species to compete better in the wild” (Natural Selection). He explained, that the process of this theory is when an organism gives birth, out of all the offspring it were to produce, only the “best” of those offspring would survive and adapt more adequately to its surroundings. The offspring that were the “best” in the pack would grow up to start their own family, and therefore bring down those “perfect” genes and that cycle keeps on

Firstly, Susan explains that the only way we can evolve is when we have an original item, and add three components, “variation, selection and heredity” (Blackmore 3:13). This means that with these three components, we will eventually end up with evolution because, it enhances what the original item was to become something even better. It becomes physically, mentally and genetically stronger then its ancestors. Susan then goes on to explain that memes are “information that we copy from person to person, by imitation, by language, by talking, by telling stories, by wearing clothes, by doing things” (Blackmore 5:22). In other words, whatever we do at any point in time that someone can “copied”, would be called/referred to as a
