- What are some of the ways that Darwin's theory of natural selection played out in human evolution? Can you see evidence of particular adaptations as our ancestors evolved, speciated, and in some cases went extinct?arrow_forwardUsing evidence from the text, how did natural selection determine the survival of medeival humans during the black death( bubonic plague)? Please explain in 4 to 4 sentences Use the words: variation, natural selection, favorable traitsarrow_forwardOne of the lines of evidence that led Darwin to the theory of natural selection was his study of artificial selection. Plant breeders and pigeon breeders select offspring with specific traits in mind beforehand. a) However, since humans are an integral part of the natural world, do you think that artificial selection might be more appropriately termed “natural selection”? Why?arrow_forward
