Document Summary
Darwin"s developed the theory of evolution by natural selection that is analogous to artificial selection. Reference to the video, only the fittest survive and that was the key stating organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. When darwin landed on the galapagos island, he found creatures that existed nowhere else in the world. On the voyage, he observe and collect specimens of plants, animals, rocks, and fossil whenever the expedition went ashore. It discuss how darwin"s learn about finches and brought them back from the galapagos island. These finches were very similar except their beaks. Finches has different shaped beaks which provided an important clue to evolution. The artificial selection is dog breeding, from wolf to dog.
