Theory of Natural Selection
4 Theories of Natural Selection
- Changes in evolution is caused by the variations
- There is an increased survival of individuals
- These individuals have more opportunities to reproduce
- Over time, these characteristics will spread throughout
Other theories that work well with natural selection
Evolution/Common Descent/Species Multiply/Gradualism/Natural Selection
Species change as they exist through the passing of time
Evolution
Organisms come from one or common ancestors and have changed from the original
Common Descent
Involves population of one species that slowly diverges until they become two separate species probably happening billions of times
Species Multiply
There is no sudden creation of new species
Gradualism
Individuals evolve through a change between individuals giving them a more equipped nature for survival
Natural Selection
