Hello! I have a discussion tommorow with my classmates, and the prompt says like this:
Discuss whether changes to an organism's physical environment are likely to result in evolutionary change. Use examples to support your reasoning. Second, using at least two examples, explain how the process of evolution is revealed by the imperfections of living organisms.
Can you please help me with this question
The theory of evolution was controversial when it was first proposed in 1859, yet within 20 years virtually every working biologist had accepted evolution as the explanation for the diversity of life. Explain in at least 50 words why.
Explain Evolution and natural selection and its role of life on earth Please

George-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788), recognized the dynamic relationship between the external environment and living forms. • Although he never discussed the diversification of life over time, he recognized that different regions have different plants and animals and that alterations of the external environment (such as climate) were agents of change. • Some scientists today (Ernst Mayr) credit Leclerc as the “father of evolutionism Jean-Baptiste Lamarck developed a theory to explain the evolutionary process, known as the inheritance of acquired characteristics. • An example is the giraffe: having stripped the leaves from the lower branches of a tree,…arrow_forward
