Unlike theories of physics‚ biological theories‚ and especially evolution‚ have been argued long and hard in socio-political arenas. Even today‚ evolution is not often taught in primary schools. However‚ evolution is the binding force of all biological research. It is the unifying theme. In paleontology‚ evolution gives workers a powerful way to organize the remains of

Beagle‚ a man named Charles Darwin viewed the relationship of plants and animals all over the world. He observed organisms on islands off the coast of South America and those on the mainland. His observations showed that these organisms were related‚ but not identical. This led Darwin into believing that over time‚ organisms must adapt to suit their environment. He explained his theories thoroughly in his book‚ On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Darwin decided it was possible

Evolution is the process in which organisms adapt to the needs of their environment and then pass on those adaptations to their descendants. Charles Darwin proposed the initial theory of evolution‚ but many scientists influenced his discovery. Darwin established that when an organism evolves‚ it occurs because the organisms specific environment. He believed that the evolution of the species is not affected due to the changes of an organism. Their adaptations grant them survival and allow their offspring
