Charles Darwin published his findings into the theories of the evolutionary process (Human Biology, 2008). He suggested closely related species evolved from one ancestor. Man and ape evolved from a common ancestor. Natural selection was the mechanism for evolutionary change.

the correlation among human beings and the environment.
