Document Summary
Diamond: why a small group of countries come to dominate so many other countries. Germs: the diseases they carried around with them from place to place. Europe brought close association between humans, plants, and animals. Humans could survive tb and plague as they became tolerant over generations and passed down that trait. Spanish conquistadors conquered the incans and mayans because of germs. What is evolution???: darwin took away the idea that humans weren"t separated from nature. Aristotle evidence of design/purpose in nature (teleology) Darwin: we can look at how things evolve from a common ancestor, **disease have common ancestors too** Linnaeus: humans are part of nature, species may change through time by hybridization such events are divinely inspired. Maybe there were less or more species at different times. **his theory was false** because he thought that these changes would happen in a lifetime view of evolution humans were a part of nature.
