Charles Darwin's Theory Of Natural Selection

In 1809 Charles Darwin was born. As a young adult, Charles Darwin longed to be a clergyman despite the fact that he considered himself a naturalist. Animals fascinated Charles Darwin, especially if they were similar but had different traits. Darwin always wondered where and how such creature came to be. Around 1833, people believed that the skeletal remains of an abnormal creature that were found were caused because “Noah’s ark was too small to fit in all the animals.” Charles Darwin was mesmerized by the fact that there can be two almost identical islands yet with two different species of birds. He wondered why God would create so many different kinds of birds in two islands that were almost identical. In the 19th century, Christian people

Despite the many people that were against the theories Darwin had, he decided to present his ideas to the world. Darwin’s idea that people refused to accept was natural selection. Natural selection is a selection, of an organism’s traits so that it can have the ability to survive and adapt to the environment placed. In Darwin's Dangerous Idea, it was said that animals are “chosen by nature to survive” some organisms die in the certain atmosphere because they don’t have the traits to help them survive the conditions in the environment placed. For example, polar bears have a thick and dense fur which helps them stay warm in cold weathers. If you compare the fur thickness of a polar bear and a brown bear, the brown bear has a thinner coat covering its body. However, if you were to place a brown bear in the Arctic, the brown bears will most likely freeze to

HIV is human immunodeficiency virus where it makes “the body lose cellular immunity.” ("AIDS." Dictionary.com. Dictionary.com, n.d. Web. 17 Jan. 2018.) Every time that HIV reproduces, some HIV viruses “ produce mutations that result in a slightly different variety of the virus.” (Darwin's Dangerous Idea 2002) This slight difference causes the virus to be “immune” to some medications. This makes it harder for scientists to know how to attack the virus. In the video Darwin's Dangerous Idea 2002 it was said that if you take the patient off medications against HIV, hopefully, the virus will revert back to the state where it’s not resistant to medications and then attack it with harder
