Charles Darwin once believed, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” For years many scientists have gathered data that supports this simple concept. It is inevitable that certain individuals will possess traits needed to thrive in society while others will fail to adapt. The world is constantly changing, and eventually ruthless reality will conquer opposition and determination. As Knowles’ characters

evolution. The theory of evolution suggests that all the living organisms in this world fo through a process of natural selection (survival of the fittest per say) in order to have the most beneficial genes carried on. This was proposed by Charles Darwin also known as the father of evolutionary psychology, then again John Bowlby was the first to come up with such theory. How is this linked to behaviour? In essence if a certain behaviour exists in humans(or other) today , then it

The human species is very complex. Individuals have a phenotype specific to themselves. With all the variety within the inhibitors of the Earth, the direction of evolution will continue to change and the species 10,000 years from now will have similar difficulty in specifying us that is Homo sapiens sapiens. In modern day however, the main question paleoanthropologists face is: “how much variation is needed to declare a fossil a new species?”(Rowe 2015). This is a rather broad question that is very

Once again, I want to stress the point that Creation and Evolution are philosophical explanations. As a matter of fact, in Darwin’s book, On the Origin of Species, he wrote the phrase “we may suppose” over 800 times. Even Darwin could not state that evolution was fully true. Just like you can’t test or prove Creation, you can’t test or prove Evolution. They are beliefs. One isn’t more scientific that the other. However, there is one dramatic difference between the two
