Charles Darwin theory of evolution?
2009-01-27 15:02:07 UTC
I have a few questions i have to do and i really need some help here they are

1. Who is considered the father of evolution?
2. Where does variation occur within an organism that causes evolution?
4. What happens over time to old species?
5. What is the main source of evidence for evolution?
6. What was the occupation that Darwin was originally studying for?
8. What did darwin believe about species before he went on his famous voyage?
9. what was Lamarck's hypothesis of evolution?
11. What animal did Darwin compare fossils to that he found in south america?
12.what set of islands did Darwin visit and research?
13. What question did Darwin pose about the species found on the islands compared to the main land?
14. What was Darwin's conclusion to this question?
16. Why do humans not reproduce unchecked?
17. What association to Malthus's ideas did Darwin make?
21. How has Darwin's Theory been changed with new research?

1. Charles Darwin



2. In the DNA in the germ cells (egg and sperm)



4. They evolve to changes in their environment or they go extinct



5. Fossils, DNA, Anatomy



6. Medicine at Edinburgh and then Priest at Cambridge



8. That they evolved. His Grandfather Erasmus has suggested as much, as had Lamarck, he just didn't know how.



9. That physiology changes through use and that this changes is inheritable.



11. Sloth



12. Galapagos



13. Why they varied and how such variation had arisen



14. natural selection had acted upon them selecting variations that were best suited to the specific environment.



16. Scarce resources



17. That competition for resources would lead to the selection of individuals best adapted to obtaining those resources. Malthus had shown that more individuals would be born than could possibly survive and this would lead to competition.



21. Linked to Mendel's work on genetics, supplemented with other mechanisms such as genetic drift, gene flow, punctuated equilibrium

Darwin theory was simple. If you get a trillion of pocket calculators and start gently smashing them with the hammer one of those calculators will turn into iPad. Then this iPad will become more useful and more popular than pocket calculators and pocket calculators will die out as species while iPad will survive and thrive on the shelves of the stores. But if you have any knowledge of how well thought out, complex and interconnected the solid design of the iPad or any computer is, you would see that you can not make iPad out of pocket calculators this way. Most single changes in one place will require the simultaneous precise matching changes in 5 other places or whole thing will not work at all. Such transformation, even though they both use silicone chips, can only be done by intelligent engineers-designers. And if you would understand that our DNA program and the whole design of each species is even more complex and even more interconnected than any modern computer, you would see that what does not work for iPad evolution is even less likely to work for the evolution of the species. Darwin was mistaken, to put it mildly.

12) galapagos

13) why they had different beaks

14) they adapted and evolved to eat

16) the earth cannot support those many people
