Document Summary
Darwin"s theory of evolution went against all established scientific practices. Animals at that time were seen as perfect, and unchanging, darwin discovered evidence of different variations of animals on different remote islands though, which challenged that theory. People were afraid of darwin"s theory because it also challenged the superiority of men, because they must have descended from some other animals. Dna is powerful evidence that all animals evolved from a single strain of life. Small changes occur in every generation, and these generations build up for massive transformations. Natural selection: force of nature selects which organisms survive. All life on earth is derived from a single ancestor. If we"re all related to one another, why is it that people are separated according to race in the aftermath of darwin"s theory. This equation is the equation for normal distribution; we want to look at the history of the equation.
