What idea of Darwins based on fossils and the modern organisms he found basically says that genetics changes are inherited by later generations?

Evolution


What is the modern definition of evolution based on population genetics?

The modern definition of evolution works at the level of genes, phenotypes and populations whereas Darwinism was mainly concerned with organisms, speciation and individuals. According to the modern definition of evolution, the populations evolve by changes in gene frequency brought about by random genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection. This change is gradual.


Is evolution a linear progression or a tree?

Evolution is more of a tree. For example, humans are not descended from the monkeys you or I would see today, nor did they somehow turn into humans. Instead, modern monkeys and humans share a common ancestor that eventually split into several different species. Another argument sometimes heard is, "If humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?" This is because there was no linear progression of monkeys towards humans. A small group of ancient monkeys gathered more and more mutations until they were different enough from the original monkeys to be considered a different species. Note that no where in this example did the original species disappear; they still lived on while a few changed.


Who founded the modern theory of evolution?

There are several different theories of evolution. The most successful is by Charles Darwin through natural selection.


What did Darwin mean by fitness?

Fit to purpose, or environment. I might be extremely fit in the modern sense, but I an not fit for survival in the desert. In a different sense I am not as fit as someone who lives a nomadic life, but I am better fitted than they for survival in a modern city.

What are the similarities and differences between Darwinism NeoDarwinism PunctuatedEquilibrium Panspermia and IntelligentDesign?

Neo-Darwinism is an elaboration on Darwinism, a synthesis between modern genetics and classical Darwinism. Punctuated equilibrium is a model of Darwinism in which the rate of divergence is highly variable, as opposed to a gradualistic model of Darwinism. Panspermia is a model for the origin of life, specifically how life could have originated off-planet and then transported here. Intelligent Design is a religious view. So really, you're listing three entirely different things here (Evolution, Origin-of-Life, Religion).

What was different about the design of the original globe theatre and modern theatres?

The original Globe Theatre had no electricity laid on. All the lighting was natural sunlight. All modern theatres have provision for a huge number of electric lights. Also, there were no bathrooms for the audience at the original Globe. Thankfully that has been changed in all modern theatres.

What is neo-darwinism?

Neo-Darwinism is a modern synthesis of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection with Gregor Mendel's theory of genetics. It proposes that evolution occurs through the combination of genetic variation, natural selection, and genetic drift. This theory is widely accepted in evolutionary biology today.
