Darwin Archeology Contributions
Charles
Darwin is known as the father of evolution. When in an expedition called the voyage of the beagle where he found evidence to support his theories. His theory of evolution has influenced archeology. His book the origins of the species have had a great impact in naturalists, archaeologies, and paleontologists. His book talks about the theory of natural selection: an explanation in how the world and the species became to be the way they are now. Evolution is the change from a specie to another, in a period of time. Darwin has contributed the most to our modern science trough his book the origins of species and the voyage of the beagle.

When he was kid he was interested in nature, but his interest in natural science grew when he was in Crist College Cambridge. After the death of his mother Darwin was raised by his father and older sisters. In 1831 at the age of 22 he joined an expedition that would circle the globe.. The

Evolution is a very controversial topic among scientists and religious supporters who have very different perspectives about how the Earth has evolved from what it was then to what it is now. The theory that scientists find most factually correct is that current species were descents from the original species that date to prehistoric times. Over a long period of time they had acquired new characteristics and physical traits to help them adapt in their ever changing environments. To try and experience evolutionary change themselves and to get a better understanding of natural selection; scientists studied two separate locations in Trinidad’s Aripo River systems and analyzed the guppy populations to compare and contrast both environments and

It is undeniable that the foundation of Wilhelm Wundt’s Institute of Experimental Psychology and the introduction of Darwin’s new theory of evolution as descried in Origin of Species has had a huge impact on the development of the modern discipline of Psychology and on society today. In this essay I will examine Wilhelm Wundt’s Institute of Experimental Psychology and Darwin’s theory of evolution from Origin of Species. I will look at what they included and the effect they had on Psychology and society at the time they were published and their influence years after. Firstly I will assess the impact of the new theory of evolution as described in Darwin’s Origin of Species.

Scientists believe that “Fossils of familiar organisms such as cnidaria (Jellyfish), echinoderms (Feather stars), precursors of the fishes , and other vertebrates were found in marine sediments” (“Marine ecosystem”). Paleontological evidence, Odontochelys semitestacea, was found, which was assumed to be the ancestor of a modern turtle. The discovery of Odontochelys semitestacea, led to the construction of several hypotheses. One of the hypotheses suggested that turtles evolved into an early divergence from the Diapsida, which is a species of reptile. Another hypothesis is that “turtles were closely related to lizards and tuataras” (“Turtle”).
