Invasive species are organisms that infiltrate ecosystems that are unable to support their alien lifestyle and diet. Their initial invasion may seem inconsequential and‚ frankly‚ insignificant at first‚ but their numbers will quickly grow and multiply‚ so much that the future outcome takes a drastic turn for the worst. Florida‚ in particular‚ has been attacked by numerous invasive species because of its accessibility to foreign cargo and material. The Burmese python‚ Cuban treefrog‚ and lionfish

Zimmer proposes this very idea in his essay “Reviving Species” and gives feedback on the topic of de-extinction. According to Zimmer‚ de-extinction is defined as‚ “The notion of bringing vanished species back to life”‚ and he elaborates the pros and cons of actually completing this ordeal (31). Reading the differentiating views on the subject is very interesting‚ and caused me to think more and more as to if bringing back the extinct species is for the good or bad of our world. But as a firm believer

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 for a species to change from one form and develop into another over time. This led him to the notion that all life forms were not fixed‚ but continuously changing or evolving. The other part of the theory was that living things
