Document Summary
Have been subjective to lots of testing and has not been disproven. Sane conclusions were reached by alfred russel wallace. When darwin found out wallace was close to coming up with the same idea, darwin published first to get credit. Species never changes and once created they never can because that goes against god. Changes to how we understood our world. Explains the fossil record as a result of a series of catastrophes. Species would be wipes out and then new ones would be created. Idea was helpful to darwin because he saw how things would change over time. Everything we see on earth is a result of everything that have happened on earth in the past and continue to happen today. Became one of the world"s leading fossilists. She contributed to the idea of extinction. Animals could be part of the same genus but they are a different species. Species are groups of animals that cant be divided anymore.
