Intro
Charles Darwin presented a theory over a century before the time of the present but yet his views are still debated among many. Darwin introduced the theory of evolution, and how the human species evolved from more ape like Homo sapiens. Darwin’s theories otherwise know as Darwinism was created in the late 1800s providing answers of where the human species actually came from and not from the tradition avenue. Darwin introduced the theory of natural selection that stated how all species arose from one creation and through competition survival and reproduction the species changed. Through natural selection the species evolved to become their current being in todays world. This theory has introduced controversy to our world through the beliefs …show more content…

While the animal kingdom does provide evidence of evolution there are many questions as to where the human evidence is presented.
