Do you think the evolution of dogs and humans are being realed as a theory?

Dogs came from the wolf and were domesticated at first as working dogs (still used to this day) and then pets for the family. In scientific context, a theory is: ''Some scientific explanations are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them. The explanation becomes a scientific theory. In everyday language a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science. In science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature that is supported by many facts gathered over time. Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena''

How does viral evolution support the theory of evolution?
Because viruses are single-cell organisms, they can mutate (evolve) quicker than complex, multi-cell organisms, where evolution gradually happens over time spans that humans can hardly fathom. Viral mutations give evolutionary biologists the opportunity to observe the process within timespans a human being can grasp. It not only supports the theory of evolution, but confirms it with demonstrable evidence.
How has evolution changed people?
People went from being monkeys to humans.
What are the basic priciples behind the theory of evolution?
The theory of evolution is quite simple. The principle behind it states that every living being on Earth today came from a species that is now extinct. Over millions of years, each species has undergone evolution and has changed them to make them able to live in today's world. For example, humans evolved from a gibbon species and birds evolved from dinosaurs.
Are people who believe in evolution ignorant?
If you mean, "are they ignorant for being in evolution," then no. The theory of evolution is a well-founded, heavily detailed theory with an enormous amount of evidence behind it. The theory of evolution is used to study disease. It's used to study agriculture. It's used to bring together all of the sciences pertaining to life.
Who came up with theory of evolution?
Although we may not be able to say who first defined evolution as the means by which new species arise, we do know that early pioneers of evolution theories include Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Lamarck. Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was not the first to study evolution, but he was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He defined the process by which evolution occurs as being natural selection, in his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
Why is evolution dying out?
That is incorrect. Evolution IS important. It is a theory that states that a gradual, slow change happens within a species over a long period of time. Without evolution we might still be apes or something else. So Evolution is very far from being unimportant.
Name Charles Darwin's theory for thebeginning of life?
Theory of Evolution. ----------------------------- One should be careful with calling this a theory for the beginning of life; the theory of evolution does not state how life began, only how it evolved. How actually life started is still a mystery, although process is being made.
How is the theory of evolution a threat to religion?
It is not unless certain religious types insist on it being so.
What part of the theory of evolution by natural selection would explain why there are no wild wolves that resemble daschunds?
The relevant concept is that of the ecological niche. The daschund is adapted to the niche of being a pet for humans, and it would be very badly adapted for the niche of being a predator in the wild.
How did man get on earth?
According to scientific theory, humans evolved over millions of years from earlier primates through the process of natural selection. This evolution occurred on Earth, with humans being a product of biological and environmental factors.
