    The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has been highly scrutinized since its first publication in 1859. The theory states‚ “the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring”. This theory is the basis of all biological sciences‚ and it lays the foundation for various scientific schools of thought. However‚ as in all things

    Darwin’s theory is based on the notion of variation. It argues that the numerous traits and adaptations that differentiate species from each other also explain how species evolved over time and gradually diverged. Variations in organisms are apparent both within domesticated species and within species throughout the natural world. Variations in colors‚ structures‚ organs‚ and physical traits differentiate a multitude of species from one another. Heredity is the mechanism that perpetuates variations

    Darwin’s theory of natural selection is not supported by the geological or fossil record‚ since there have been little to no remains of intermediate species found in fossils. Darwin explains this by using the imperfection of the geological record‚ as changes in land over time means that species will often not be preserved in a way that can be studied by scientists. He also references Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology‚ which states that the earth’s surface is constantly changing‚ as evidenced

    philosophers believed in the idea that all organisms are made by God in their current state and require no additional modification. As a result‚ many scientists in the 1700s explained that an organism’s compatibility to its environment is because of the principle that God created a species to suit a specific environment. Contrary to the beliefs of early philosophers and scientists‚ an organism’s compatibility to its environment is caused by natural selection. Natural selection‚ the process in which individuals
