This question can be interpreted several different ways, and you might need to clarify for better answer.
How did the theory of evolution begin? Although many believe that Charles Darwin was the first to hypothesize the theory of evolution, many Eastern civilizations believed that organisms changed over time (which is basically evolution). What Darwin did was put a supported process behind the observational fact that organisms change over time. He popularized his theory with the publication of "On the Origin of Species," which led to the wide-spread acceptance of evolution emerging in the mid 1940's among the Western scientific community.
How did the process of evolution begin? The better question is, "what drives the process of evolution?" Evolution is driven by multiple mechanisms, but relies primarily on the two most famous:
* Natural selection: Darwin's principal that organisms change over time based on their need to adapt to their natural surroundings. * Genetic drift: Random mutations in the genetic code enabling the selective process of natural selection. Those two mechanisms are the main driving force behind the well-known fact that organisms change over time.
Evolution began in the very first set of organisms on Earth -- how those organisms were created is not a question left to the theory of evolution, but rather a question that is explained by the theory of abiogenesis (which is not spontaneous generation, and is not part of the theory of evolution.) It is worth noting that these first organisms are thought to be extremely simple in nature. The modern consensus among the scientific community is that they were single-celled.

I read in some Evolution Book that we started off as lemurs. So uh, yeah, I guess. TOODLES!!!!!

Did People believe in evolution around 1827?
yes they did believe in evolution because life begins million years ago
What is main cause of evolution?
All evolution begins with reproductive variation - the fact that all offspring are born nonidentical to both their parents and their siblings.

Where does evolution start?
Evolution begins with self replication. Evolution on Earth began around four billion years ago. We don't have any record of that long lost microscopic beginning, but it may have been a single molecule that could make copies of itself.
If a star begins its evolution with ten times the mass of the sun but ends with two times the mass what object does it form?
It forms a "neutron star".
What are the steps are involved in the formation of life on earth include ideas about chemical evolution and biological evolution?
The formation of life on earth has little to do with evolutionary sciences, which deal how lifechanges, not how it begins. The formation of life has as little to do, specifically, with evolution as it does with cell theory, or biogeography, or diet of organisms, or photosynthesis... it's a prerequisite for these processes.
Why does evolution take place?
It is a natural process that is involved as soon as any biological system begins to impact its surroundings, which in most cases is-- right away. Evolution is always happening when there is the consumption of resources and particularly competition for the consumption of those resources.
If a star begins its evolution with 10 times the mass of the sun but ends with 2 times the mass of the sun what type of object does it form?
a neutron star
If a star begins its evolution with a mass ten times that of the sun but finishes with a mass 2 times that of the sun what type of object does it form?
A Neutron Star.
What is catastrophic theory of the solar system?
The catastrophic theory of solar system evolution is the idea that two stars collide. The remaining material that is expelled then begins to form planets.
When did the Paleolithic era started?
It begins from the evolution of the first hominids (humans, and human-like creatures), so about 2 million years ago, during the time of Homo Erectus.
Will there be a Ben 10 Alien Force season 4?
There will be no season 4 of Ben 10 Alien Force. A new show - Ben 10 Evolution begins in February or March.there is a season four
