What is evolution? Providing a definition of “evolution” is tricky because the word is used in different ways. First we need to distinguish between the broader worldview some associate with evolution and the scientific theory of evolution. The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Charles Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits.

Deconstructing ‘White Fang’: binary of “truth/deception” Around 1876, the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin was in its apogee in the scientific world which led to Jack London’s use some of his theories in his writings. The theory of evolution examines why organisms evolve over time through the natural selection of inherited physical or behavioral traits. London’s work is vast and while writing for sixteen years, the author left nineteen novels, short stories, essays and several books as part

experiment to study the effects of environmental conditions on the crossover frequencies of Sordaria Fimicola. Indeed, the research conducted by scientists consisted of observing the sexual reproductions of Sordaria Fimicola from two slopes of the “Evolution Canyon” in order to better understand the evolutionary processes of these species. The two slopes, the South Facing Slope (SFS) and the North Facing Slope (NFS) have environmental differences. In fact, The NFS have a cool, humid and shady climate

For centuries there has been a constant struggle between progress and stagnation. Between science and Scripture. Between the church and governments. Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s Inherit the Wind brings up the ultimate question: Can the findings of Charles Darwin coexist with Scripture? By forcing the two books together Henry Drummond showed that the books could both be respected and understood by mankind without belittling each other. Bertram Cates decided that he was going to “read
