the stimulus (Wozniak, 2015). 1809-1882, Charles Darwin Darwin was a naturalist whose theory of natural selection influenced the functionalist school and the field of evolutionary psychology. He worked on his theory for 20 years. After learning that another naturalist, Alfred Wallace had developed similar ideas the two announced their discovery in 1858. In 1859 Darwin published ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection’ (Charles Darwin, 2015). 1842-1910, William James James was a psychologist

attempt to answer these questions was religion (Christianity, Judaism, Islamic); however science has introduced an alternative to religion’s so called answer, evolution. The current argument began with an English naturalist by the name of Charles Darwin. Darwin was the first to propose the theory of evolution, which states that mankind, through genetic mutation and natural selection, evolved from a common ancestor over a prolonged period based on natural selection processes. This theory directly defied

This can be best understood by a popular scientific discovery of the past – “Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.” During Darwin’s time, scientists explained physical growth (the variations a person undergoes as he matures) by the term evolution. Before Darwin, the scale of nature – considered to be the most important pattern of biodiversity - unanimously described the similarities and differences of various species; however it did not help solve the problem of genetics. The

Evolution of Finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands INTRODUCTION The Evolution Lab simulates environmental situations to determine effects on evolution over periods of time. This lab experiments with the evolution of finches on two different islands over 100, 200, and 300 years. By manipulating parameters that influence natural selection, the effects that natural selection have on the evolution process can be studied. HYPOTHESES • The size of the island will influence the population

explains how Darwin rejected the theory that all of the animals died gradually instead Darwin believe in the extreme view of mass extinction. Dr. Gould goes on to tell us how this is false and that it is clear that the animals died gradually. But that Darwin’s mass extinction prevailed as we see in data records. Dr. Gould goes on to say this is because not every animal that lived fossilized in the ground in fact only small amount actually fossilized. Because of this the data that Darwin had collected
