| Favorite movies | Theory in a nutshell Darwin's theory is based on key observations and and inferences drawn from them: 1. Species have great fertility. They make more offspring than can grow to adulthood. 2. Populations remain roughly the same size, with modest fluctuations. 3. Food resources are limited, but are relatively stable over time. 4. An implicit struggle for survival ensues. 5. In sexually reproducing species, generally no two individuals are identical. 6. Some of these variations directly impact the ability of an individual to survive in a given environment. 7. Much of this variation is inheritable. 8. Individuals less suited to the environment are less likely to survive and less likely to reproduce, while individuals more suited to the environment are more likely to survive and more likely to reproduce. 9. The individuals that survive are most likely to leave their inheritable traits to future generations. 10. This slowly effected process results in populations that adapt to the environment over time, and ultimately, after interminable generations, the creations of new varieties, and ultimately, new species. |
