Antb15 reading one and lecture 2 notes. Big picture on evolution (issue 5 jan 2007) Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution theodosius. Dobzhansky (1973) when he said this he was referring to the link between genetics (mendel 20th century) and evolutionary change (darwin 19th century). Genetics is the mechanism, which allows natural selection to occur. During the 19th century two naturalists, charles darwin and alfred russel wallace independently came up with a theory to explain how evolution occurs. Darwin published his ideas in his book on the origin of species by means of natural. Natural selection: organisms produce more offspring than survive to reproduce, offspring vary slightly, characteristics can be passed on from generation to generation, those most suited to their environment survive at the expense of those less fit. An example of this would be the coloured plumage of certain birds. )
