481 Words2 Pages

Charles Darwin studied different texts and have done some scientific researches and studies on his own before he corresponded his ideas to the outer world.Some time after that he came up with the idea of his evolutionary theory and main points of its engine— natural selection. Although Charles Darwin said he did not know the exact laws of heredity or reproduction he assumed that the most important impact on the variety of species has inheritance not the environment. He knew that descendant organisms pass some specific traits to their offspring and this process is continuous and infinite. Darwin supposed that scientist can not fully understand how to apply laws of inheritance to parents and offsprings. For example we can not explain why some traits but not the other traits are inherited, or why certain traits sometimes skip generations and expressed in descendant and offspring’s offspring organisms. He was contradicted other scientific theories about the …show more content…

He uses this term to analyse the elaborating of different traits within species and explain how does it happen and what is the power that moves this process. He assumes that some of the characteristics are used more and are more helpful for surviving of the organism. He states that those features have more possibility to be chosen to be passed through the evolutionary change. Scientist uses a lot of experiments to support his ideas so that his theories can be reliable and to explain in the best way the processes that happen in the nature and in breeding as well. At the first chapter he says that naturally selected species have more in common that the consciously selected ones. Unconsciously selected characteristics develop slower over time, usually they help to species’ adaptation and survival. Darwin stated that unconscious selection covers the evolution of wild species, which was the ground for the evolutionary
