Document Summary
Charles darwin: savages, finches, and the development of idea. Midterm next week -- practice exam coming out this week. Even if two species are similar, the environments are subtly different so they have differences, so we may not be able to see the differences in species but they exist. Separate creations -- was rirst raised by isaac la peyere, a french polymath seeking to reconcile the limited number of generations between. Adam and eve and modern day by positing pre-adamites. Appeared more biblically sound but failed to account for human diversity.
