When Darwin published his theory of natural selection in 1859 he could not explain how traits were passed on to offspring what helped complete Darwin's theory of natural selection?
The discovery of discrete inheritance by Gregor Mendel. This genetic finding was combined with evolutionary findings to form the modern evolutionary synthesis that is still, with modification, the theory of evolution by natural selection today.
Does natural selection occur in the world today?
Yes, natural selection is always occurring.
What does natural selection have to do with biodiversity?
Natural selection is the mechanism primarily responsible for the development of today's biodiversity.
Does a theory have to be supported by evidence?
NO. take Darwin's theory of evolution for example. there is no real evidence, but it is accepted as fact by most in America today.
The work of which scientist caused controversy that still exists today-?
Darwin was the scientist that caused controversy that still exists today.
What evidence of natural selection is available today that was not available to Darwin?
organisms inherit traits
Is Darwin's theory proven?
A. It is no longer Darwin's theory as the theory of evolution by natural selection has been modified and added to since Darwin's day. Still, Darwin would recognize the theory as it stands today. B. Science does not " prove " things as that is a mathematical concept. Science supports it's theories with overwhelming amounts of converging evidence. That said, the theory of evolution by natural selection has been upheld scientifically for over 150 years and had withstood many tests and challenges. The theory of evolution by natural selection ios the bedrock upon which modern biology is built.
Who developed a theory of evolution by natural selection that is accepted by most scientists today?
Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace first purposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, but the theory accepted by most scientists today has been modified a bit since Darwin and Wallace's day.

Did Charles Darwin admit that evolution didn't occur?
No. There was a rumor circulating that Darwin recanted evolution on his death bed, but that rumor has no foundation or plausible evidence. And even if Darwin ever had said such a thing, it would be meaningless. Galileo recanted is heliocentric theory, under pressure from a religious group. That in no way alters the fact the earth orbits the sun, and not the other way around.

What is the status of Darwins theory today?
Though Darwin was basically correct the theory of evolution by natural selection is no longer " Darwin's theory. " In the 151 years since Darwin first postulated the theory it has become so well supported by additional evidence and reformulations that over 90% of all scientists accept the theory and it is the overarching theory that unites all of biology. The status of the theory today is that it has no serious contenders for explaining as much of the fact of evolution as it does.
Who figured out evolution?
There have been quite a few humans who tried to work out how organisms change with time. Lamarck tried his ideas but was discredited. Today's Theory of Evolution was discovered with evidence and thought by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Darwin spent the most energy on gleaning evidence so the theory is these days credited to him. As David Attenborough says, he gave the idea 'irresistable force' when he happened upon a mechanism by which it could occur: Natural Selection.
What evidence did scientist use to support evolution theory?
First of all, evolution is a FACT not a theory. You must be referring to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. There is no denying the fact that evolution happens, scientists just didn't know exactly how it worked until Darwin suggested one plausible scientific explanation which he called natural selection. Natural selection is simply the change in allele frequencies of an organism which results that organism becoming either better or worse suited to survive in its environment. Being better suited to survive means that the organism is more likely to pass on the beneficial genetic trait to it's offspring. Rather than asking for evidence which helps prove evolution, try looking for verifiable scientific evidence which disproves it. After all, science is not about making claims and looking for evidence to prove them, but rather generating hypothesis and looking for ways to disprove them.
Why are animals the way they are today?
evolution by natural selection
Did Huxley writes that the theory of evolution was by no means the sole product of Darwin?
Possible so, as the theory of evolution by natural selection, though his greatest product, was by no means Darwin's only production. Just before he died he produced a treatise on earthworms that is still relevant today.
