where imperialists, capitalists and colonialists manipulated Social Darwinism to justify horrific acts of genocide and cultural destruction. Upon the publication of Darwin’s revolutionary theory of evolution, The Origin of Species, uproar was caused in Victorian Society at the notion that humans were related to apes, to animals, which was unthinkable at the time largely because it contravened prevailing religious beliefs. This upheaval was the very beginning of a new age of political thinking

as science and something that should be taught alongside evolution, and those who think of it as religion disguised as science. As a science teacher myself, I was very interested in this subject, and how school districts nationwide are pushing initiatives recently to put intelligent design in their biology classes. These school districts are struggling with the dilemma of whether or not to teach creationism as an alternative view to evolution theory. If, as many scientific creationists believe, God's

observations in South America and the Galapagos and how did they stimulate his thinking about modern species evolving from ancestral forms, and the effect of the environment on the evolution of species? What are Darwin’s main principles (tenants) for how natural selection occurs? How is there evidence of evolution in each of the following fields of study: Comparative anatomy (including examples of homologous structures, vestigial structures and analogous structures; be able to provide examples

Where did blue eyes com from? Blue eyes is the result evolution. Darwin thought us that mutations that result in a big change in our phenotype is either a benefit for the population and therefore the trait is passed on to offsprings or the mutation has a negative effect on the population and that is a lethal factor. Their is also a third effect of mutation where it is neither positive or negative. Eye colors will fall into that last category as well as mutation like, hair color, baldness, freckles

In biology, we discuss many theories, such as the theory of evolution and how the first human(s) were created. Some people may think that religious belief and scientific belief must be completely different, but that is not always the case. Religion states that God created the first humans, Adam and Eve; though biology may not totally agree with this statement, both theories of creation are similar. Biologists promote a theory referred to as Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which states that all people come

“All roads lead home”. They must each draw the same conclusion. I have chosen examples from the human body and from nature that are but tiny illustrations of the glory, the profound intelligence with which G-d created this universe. We converse about this intelligence although we barely fathom any of it. We marvel at the awesome intelligence of Einstein who to his credit was a genius in human standards. He shed scientific light which changed our world but in fact he only scratched the surface
