Document Summary

He argued that species were changed through natural selection: jean-baptiste lamark argued that when individuals of a species were stressed, they transformed themselves to deal with it. These could then be inherited by their offspring: theory natural selection, darwin developed theory based on "artificial selection" by farmers, choosing best milk-producing vows to mate with bulls whose mothers were best milk- producers. In natural world, more individuals born than can survive, so there is a. If rabbits were created to serve a function in. Introduced rabbits from europe overran australia, proving that they could survive there: led darwin to notion of centers of origin: species evolved in a specific place and their descendants spread from there over long periods of time. Also noted that fossils of extinct animals occurred only near where the species were currently distributed: homology evidence, similarly in bone patterns in the limbs of all tetrapods (amphibians, repitiles, birds, and mammals).
