Theory of evolution
Have you ever asked yourself why we look different than others? This has to do with evolution.By the understanding of biologists, Evolution is the change through time that occurs in populations of organisms in response to changing environments. Inside the DNA molecules

Knowing more from Darwin's book, by means of Natural Selection. The main points of his theory are: all life came from one or a few kinds of simple organisms; new species arise gradually from preexisting species; the result of competition among species is extinction of the less fit; gaps in the fossil record account for the lack of transitional forms.
Who is Charles Darwin?
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) an English naturalist, was the most known among the biologists of the 19th century. He made an extensive study of nature for over 20 years, especially in 1831-1836 when he went on a voyage on the famous ship “H.M.S Beagle” and explored South America, the Galapagos Islands and other islands.
He laid down a framework for the theory of evolution showing how Man evolved from lower life forms. At the time, his research and publication led to bitter controversy, but his theory of evolution and natural selection later became accepted within the scientific community. Charles Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He was born into a wealthy and influential family. His grandfathers included; China manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood, and Erasmus

His theory of evolution by natural selection, first released in his book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. Changes might be in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Basically, an individual organism with better adapt to its environment will easily survive and have more offspring.
Darwin's great contribution to science was that he solved this mystery of how and why evolution occurred. The answer, which he called natural selection, finally occurred to him in 1839. The essence of the idea is that those individuals born with characteristics that make them best suited for their environment are the ones most likely to survive and most likely to successfully produce offspring.
It took Darwin another 20 years to develop the evidence he felt he needed to support this idea. Darwin considered factors such as hybridism, instinct, the fossil record, geographical distribution, and embryology and neatly folded them all into his theory.
Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
• More individuals are produced each generation that can survive. Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is
• He was greatly influenced by Charles Lyell. • Why did it take so long for Darwin to publish “Origin”, and what finally prompted its publication in 1859? • He was more focused on continuing his graduate courses for researching barnacles, which proved to be great experiences in preparation of completing his book.
Darwin noted that small different heritable traits in animals form from their chances of survival in natural selection. Darwin also believed in agenesis, the single transformation of a species and speciation, the isolated genetic changes in a species. The splitting and specializing phenomenon was another strong principle to Darwin's discovery of Evolution. The splitting and specializing phenomenon was the idea that two species could form from one species. The amount of shared characteristics between any species specifies how soon they have evolved from a shared lineage.
Many ideas led him to believe what he believed. One of them was, James Hutton’s ideas about geological change. His theory consisted that sediments, rocks, soil, etc were made after the great flood and new species “rose” from that disaster and that it’s a cycle. Charles Lyell’s theory also shaped his thinking. Lyell wrote the book of “Principles of Geology”, where Hutton became famous.
Sometimes an element of an idea is unfathomable so it is recast. A theory by Charles Robert Darwin, a geologist and biologist, called “the theory of natural selection” puts to rest all questions about evolution of life and the happenstances around it. It states that a collection of similar individuals that can breed with each other are called species. Evolution, according to Darwin is a “slow and gradual, and endless” process. It also states that organisms are more prone to adapt in a specific environment and therefore
Charles Darwin, was a great historical figure who was best known for his study of evolution and his process of natural selection. He was born in February 12, 1809 at Shrewsbury, England and died in April 19. 1809. He contributed to many the fields of science such as psychology, botany, and geology. Darwin also had written several books that contained a lot of information about what he had learned though his study’s. Darwin was a very important role on how we see psychology today.
In 1831 he embarked on a five-year survey voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. He was a naturalist and biologist known for his theory of evolution. In 1859 he published a book “On the Origin of Species”. Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection, declared that species survived through a process called,” natural selection”. This all started when Darwin notices similarities among the species all over the globe.
Charles Darwin is a British Naturalist whose work on organic Revolution is known as Darwinism and his ideas was being used by many other philosophers and scientists to create developed social, economic, and the study of human kind and their principles that alter the world. Evolution is yet a gradual procedure by which the features of living things change over many generations. Charles Darwin 's theory explains how primitive living things advance into great and make a different Heterogeneity of life that is seen on the planet earth today.
Justus 1 Seth Justus English 2 Mr. Johnson 2/16/15 Final Paper on Charles Darwin Charles Darwin has impacted the world that we live in today quite greatly. Charles Darwin changed evolutionary biology forever with his many ideas and theories. With these ideas and theories he has also changed the way the world sees religion and has caused many to question their chosen faith. Charles Darwin discovered countless plant and animal species as well as studying and tasting them.
Charles Darwin, an English naturalist and geologist, is best known for his works on the “theory of evolution by natural selection.” He was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England to Robert and Susannah Darwin. Growing up, he was quiet and liked to be alone, often irritated and depressed about everything. Charles Darwin would often go on walks, collecting whatever interested him, one of his favorite hobbies, a useful skill he would later use in his research. As he grew up, he began to find interest in watching birds and hunting.
In 1859, Charls Darwin set out his theory of evolution by natural selection as an explanation for adaptation and speciation. Charles Darwin theory of natural selection is one of the corner stones of morden biology. The concept, published by Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in a joint presentation of papers in 1858, was elaborated in Darwins influencial 1859 book on the origins of species. Darwins ideas, along with Adam Smith and Karl Max had a profound influence on 19th century thought. The influence of Darwins theory has spread from evolutionary biology to other disciplines, including evolutionary computation, quantum Darwinism, evolutionary
Evolution is the gradual development of living organisms. It is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth. The process is slow and changes animals and plants. Lots of evidence has been collected for more than 50 years by scientists. Many theories have been supported by this evidence on what evolution is and the process of it (Montgomery, 2009).
Basic Theory of Darwin Charles Darwin was known as an English naturalist who studied variation of animals and plants during a five-year voyage around the world in the nineteenth century. Evolutionary ideas came to prominence, when Charles Darwin explained his ideas on evolution in a book called, On the Origin of Species, published in 1859 (1). Darwin's ideas caused a lot of controversy, and this continues today, because they can be seen as conflicting with religious views about the creation of the world and the creatures in it. The basic idea behind the theory of evolution is that all the different species have evolved from simple life forms.
Darwin changed the way that scientist looked at evolution during his time, Darwin and his book The Origin of Species are what made evolutionary biology what it is
There he made some research and made records of observations. Aside from examining various places, he also made some observation of natural phenomenons. He realized that Lyell was right, so he came back to England. In 1859, Charles Darwin studied and researched multiple scientific studies on his own; hence, he discovered the theory of evolution. On the same year, he published his book Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.
A theory is, “A proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of fact.” The theory of evolution was created in 1859 by a man named Charles Darwin. Darwin wrote a book called The Origin of Species in which he discusses his ideas on the theory of evolution. While his observations and thoughts on things such as natural selection, adaptation and characteristics are limited by knowledge and technology at the time, many of his ideas are still used today. As technology continues to develop researchers are uncovering new evidence supporting
