Evolution is the basic fundamental for all forms of science. The diversity of life, is always growing, and evolving. There are 4 sub units of dna known as nucleotides. Different organisms have different lifespans, beyond our control. Charles darwin presented the theory of natural selection. The attempt to obtain knowledge through inquiry. A constant investigation into a certain question or theory, in hopes of eliminating human bias. Theory moves into hypothesis (which is basically an idea you can prove) Something that is not falsifiable is a weak hypothesis. You must be able to test your predictions from your hypothesis. There are always two types of reasoning: inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive is a generalization made from a large amount of specific observations. Deductive reasoning is logic that applies from a general premise. When testing you must be sure to control both conclusions.
