Document Summary
Our relationship with primate -> the point of the class. 5 most important aspects of human evolution that explain how evolution works: variation already exists in a population, survival of the fittest, natural selection **, sexual selection, descent with modification ask for what this is. Who does evolution act upon: not upon individual but population, natural selection acts upon the individual but overall it is the population. A group of creatures which breed together and produce viable and fertile offspring: may be quite similar in appearance (deer) or quite variable (dogs) Geography sometimes play a role in species but not always: share behavioral traits relating to social groups, food preferences, reproductive strategies, etc. Species have a shared behavioral and social grouping, meeting, eating, etc. but they typically associate between them and us. We know there is species but they don"t necessarily conform to this. It was published for the first time in the 1859 by means of natural selection.
