EVOLUTION AND DARWIN’S THEORY
1
Evolution and Darwin’s theory:
Evolution is the characteristic change of a species over the course of time and the
changes are in accordance with the process of natural selection. This means all the species are
related and gradually changes over time. There are supportive evidences from a diverse scientific
disciplines including genetics, geology, developmental biology and paleontology that proves the
process of evolution by natural selection being one of the best substantiated theory in the
scientific history. Therefore, there is no way one can deny the existence of evolution in the
human history. Darwin’s theory of Evolution has a strong notion that states all living species are
related and has derived from a common ancestor. Darwin’s theory of natural selection preserves
beneficial genetic mutations that allows for a functional advantage passed from generation to
generation enabling them to complete better in the wild. It is important to know that Evolution is
a slow and gradual process. Darwin’s theory helps us to know irreducibly complex system on
cellular level. Darwin’s theory states that the individuals with characteristics that are best
suitable for their environment are more likely to survive, resist diseases, find food and avoid
predators and reproduce and pass their genes to their offspring. One to make people aware of the
fact that how life discovered. Charles Darwin’s theory is important to develop scientific and
humanist ideas since he was the first one to put forward the theory of Evolution by Natural
selection in the Origin of Species published in 1859.
Role of genetics and Evolution in Modern Science and the differences between
people:
All living species originated through the process of biological evolution. The species are
classified by scientists as Homo sapiens and there are different individual members in the
