struggle and competition, and claims that human racial stock improves by allowing ruthless and unrestrained competition in the economic realm. Social Darwinism apples the concepts of biological evolution to social and moral development by stating that it is social evolution through the "survival of the fittest" in a struggle for an existence in which the strong prevail and the weak are defeated. Currently, we use the terms of Darwinism, natural selection, and evolution interchangeably and use them to describe

Evolution is the progressive change in organisms over time. There are 3 types of evidence to support evolution; fossil record shows the change over time, Antimonial record compares the body structures and the final one is DNA is comparing protein & DNA sequences. Evolution is a process of continuous branching and diversification from common trunks. This pattern of indivertible separation gives life history- Stephen Jay Gould. Evolution occurs in the Natural selection.Natural Selection was created/founded

Evolution has been accepted as a fact by many, but new research has shown something people did not expect. Some scientists believe that evolution does not answer where life came from and uses natural selection and evolution interchangeably. New research shows that mutations do not allow evolution to occur. A recent study questions the age of fossils and the most trusted dating method, radioisotope dating. Finally, the eruption of Mount St. Helens changed the view of erosion and sedimentation. A big

Through this class and interviewing

Charles Darwin Did you know that birds are descendants of dinosaurs? This is because of evolution, which was first put into theory by Charles Darwin. His theory, called Darwinism, evolution, or natural selection, is very important in many branches of science. Without his research, the belief that there was no change in species in all of history would still be believed. Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809.

In hopes to produce offsprings from a certain trait. An example of artificial selection is a dog breeder might say he wants a dog that is all black he would then breed two black dogs. Using the artificial selection, of changes in organisms helped support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Natural Selection is the environment continually
