Document Summary

Tried to apply it on other species. All species have the capacity to overproduce. Darwin and wallace had these 3 important ideas: Number of individual species tend to remain constant overtime. Individuals within a species vary in their detail. Phylogeny: the stages of evolutionary changes marking one species as different from. Ontogeny: the stages of fetal growth and development. His work was duplicated after his death another. Our chance to have new traits in the gene pool. Genes from one population entering another group. Random change of trait frequencies from generation to generation. We recognize the time depth of that fossil record and how change is occurring. Contemporary species share characteristics with ancestral species overtime. Darwin calls this the "law of the succession of types" The theory of course applies to humans as well, with thousand hominid fossils. We can see the great resemblance between the whale limbs. Ancient fish is a common ancestor of all these species.
