Document Summary
Lepidopterans go through a juvenile stage where they have a well-developed head with many chewing parts. This feeding pattern is characteristic of many caterpillars. As adults, lepidopterans have three pairs of legs and two wings covered in scales. Striking ways in which organisms are suited for their environment. Charles darwin attempted to come up with scientific explanations for these three observations by developing the theory of evolution. Darwin used evolution when proposing the fact that the ancestors of species look different from the present-day form of those species. Evolution can be looked at as both a pattern and a process. Revealed through the data collected from data from many disciplines of science. The data are facts and observations about the real world. Mechanisms that brought out the patterns of change. Evolution is still being tested constantly so as to develop the theory further. Aristotle viewed species as fixed and unchanging.
