Theory of Evolution Theory of evolution

rdfs:comment

Evolution is the accepted scientific fact that a living organism will pass inheritable traits that are different from those of previous generations to its offspring, and that such traits can become increasingly prevalent or die out based on the fitness of their carriers to reproduce, to the point that after many generations the traits can become so different that an entirely distinct species is formed. In other words, evolution is the fact that random inheritable mutations, changing some traits in the organisms inheriting such mutations, will thrive or perish in the population based on Natural selection and other selective pressures, to the point where speciation occurs. It is observable, empirical fact that this can, does, and will happen. The Theory of Evolution by natural selection is one of the most successful scientific theories ever propounded. The Theory of Evolution by natural selection is one of the most successful scientific theories ever propounded. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace developed this theory independently. Both men were influenced by the economist, Malthus. Both saw clearly and logically that when resources are limited organisms best able to survive tend to survive while others die. This is a tautology. Both saw further that over generations this will lead to organisms changing and becoming better adapted to their environment. Both did fieldwork suggesting that organisms were changing over time and new species were forming. The Theory of Evolution is the change in heritable phenotype traits of biological populations over successive generations. When Dr. Janet Fraiser and Major Samantha Carter theorized that Humans may have evolved long before previously thought and possibly not on Earth, Colonel Jack O'Neill said that "Darwin would be crushed."

The Theory of Evolution by natural selection is one of the most successful scientific theories ever propounded. The Theory of Evolution by natural selection is one of the most successful scientific theories ever propounded. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace developed this theory independently. Both men were influenced by the economist, Malthus. Both saw clearly and logically that when resources are limited organisms best able to survive tend to survive while others die. This is a tautology. Both saw further that over generations this will lead to organisms changing and becoming better adapted to their environment. Both did fieldwork suggesting that organisms were changing over time and new species were forming. Malthus's essay calculates from the birth rate that human population could double every 25 years, but in practice growth is kept in check by death, disease, wars and famine. (…) so that when there is more population than resources can maintain, favourable variations that allow the organism to better use the limited resources available tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones destroyed by being unable to get the means for existence, resulting in the formation of new species(Wikipedia on Darwin) The problem then was not only how and why do species change, but how and why do they change into new and well defined species, distinguished from each other in so many ways; why and how they become so exactly adapted to distinct modes of life; and why do all the intermediate grades die out (as geology shows they have died out) and leave only clearly defined and well marked species, genera, and higher groups of animals? (Wallace) The Theory of Evolution is the change in heritable phenotype traits of biological populations over successive generations. When Dr. Janet Fraiser and Major Samantha Carter theorized that Humans may have evolved long before previously thought and possibly not on Earth, Colonel Jack O'Neill said that "Darwin would be crushed." (SG1: "Frozen") The unusual flora and fauna of Atlantis gave credence to the theory of evolution, as these species had developed in complete isolation from the rest of the world, and reached a level of unique biodiversity matched only in New Zealand.
