Document Summary
Focus on population as main principle of evolution. By answering small questions we may find answers to big answers. Many times answer is: i don"t know. Through mathematics and theories, models and structures arise-theoretical. Models: start with verbal model/narrative model, saying out loud how things happen. 2 set parameters, variables, believing there"s relationships between variable. 3 mathematical models-solve equations and make predictions. Comparative-things applying to one species may not apply to other species. Apply data to multiple species to compare, phylogenetic approaches, comparative experiments. Experiments-manipulate things, e. g comparing genetic types, collect datas. No evidence of spontaneous combustion of new species. Evolution doesn"t just occur in the past-organisms in the stomach evolving. Occur all levels, not just in species, in genes as well. Affects other areas e. g economy dog eat dog world. Important for quote, this quote used all the time for biologist. Modern synthesis, mendel genetics & population genetics. Micro-studying the mechanisms of evolution, how it occurs.
