Darwin's Theories Of Evolution By Natural Selection

Darwin is known as one of the greatest scientific thinkers as he discovered and later revealed some of the mysteries about science, which shocked most people at the time. Darwin based his study upon evolution by natural selection which consisted of four main topics that were very important to his study: Reproduction, Inheritance, Variation, and Differential Survivorship. Natural Selection is the process by which organisms vary throughout generation and as the environment changes, it becomes harder for species to survive if they do not inherit the specific trait needed. As this occurs, many characteristics become extinct. What made Darwin’s observations so unique was that he had interactions not only with the species he was experimenting on,

Darwin suggested that the scientific method is used to resolve the mysteries that are upon nature because people are unknown of the science aspect of life because they believe in the workings of God. "islands catalyzed the scientific revolution that now bears his name. Darwin’s revolutionary theory was that new species arise naturally, by a process of evolution, rather than having been created—forever immutable—by God.” [2] In class, we discussed the best definition for science and it was “science is the systematic, objective, acquisition, of falsifiable knowledge through observation and experiment.” Although, Darwin uses science, he had some differences in the meaning of science. Science is objective not subjective meaning that our emotions do not take into account for our observations. Darwin did manipulate some experiments as he threw the marine iguana into the ocean. “I threw one [marine iguana] several times as far as I could, into a deep pool…” [3] Throughout the voyage of the beagle he was more subjective which made him be more hands on as he manipulated the cause. In the origin of species, he was objective because he observed more and saw how the environment and other habitats affected the species. Darwin admits that science still hasn’t figured out the idea of how heredity works in reproduction. “The laws governing inheritance are quite unknown; no one can say why the same peculiarity in different

Till this day, we consider Darwin as the king of evolution but now in the modern day his theories seem insufficient in some cases as technology arouse and changed the way experiment were done. However, Darwinism is the backbone of science, and because of what he has discovered revolutionized science to what it is today. Without Darwin’s ideas and theories, today’s science would most likely be lacking in many of its achievements, evolution would have been discovered much later and progression of science would have come to an undeniable halt. To this day Darwin’s theories about natural selection still apply, animals all the way to human beings. In everyday society we see that natural selection, and survival of the fittest come into play. Many individuals find mates during their lives by selecting what they find attractive, mates that can help provide for them, protect them, and overall ensure they have comfortable lives. Society today is like the birds that Darwin observed, we choose based off natural selection. To survive in this world, we choose who we believe can benefit us the most, hardly do we ever choose someone without it benefiting them in some type of way or
