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

characteristics acquired over the life of parents that transmitted to their offspring. (Otto E. Landman‚ 1991) The example given was that a giraffe was born with a short neck; however‚ in order to eat leaves from tall trees‚ it might gradually gain long neck over lifetime‚ and offspring of this giraffe would born with long neck instead of short one.

Today we have artificial selection which is the reproduction of two organisms with help from humans to create desired traits. You theorized that homologous and analogous structures helped support your theory of evolution. Three things you studied‚ homologous structures‚ analogous structures‚ and natural selection‚ greatly helped prove your theory of evolution among species. Homologous structures are very important when discussing the theory of evolution. Homologous structures are structures in organisms

era resided in four arenas: piety‚ purity‚ domesticity and obedience. The conditions that the female slave lived in were opposed to the standards and virtues set by the society.

In this essay I aim to explain Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection‚ contrast it with other similar theories set before it and then an overall conclusion. Darwin originally

Transference and Counter transference: The sun flower was placed in front of the therapist.
