The two revolutionary hypotheses proposed by Darwin in On the Origin of Species were descent with modification and natural selection as the main mechanism of evolution. How did Darwin’s ideas contrast with the prevailing notions of the origins of species at the time?
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?

- While the French biologist LaMarck was correct in proposing that evolution does occur, he believed that the long necks of giraffes evolved as generations of giraffes reached for ever higher leaves on the trees. Using these observations, LaMarck proposed the theory that evolution occurs due to the inheritance of characteristics acquired during an organism’s lifetime. From what you know about the scientific method, why is this incorrect?arrow_forwardBoth Darwin and Wallace, while observing life on islands, concluded that natural selection is the mechanism for biological evolution. The Hawaiian and nearby islands once had at least 30 species of honeycreeper birds and lived nowhere else on earth. Natural section occurs everywhere in all species.
