What is evolution and who is associated with it?

Answer 1

Evolution is the development of new characteristics and species over many generations which arises from changes in the environment. The idea (which has been called the single best idea ever had by a person) was that of Charles Darwin, an English naturalist and geologist.

The theory of natural selection comes along too. That is a random decision in which a species either thrives or becomes extinct. But sometimes extinction is caused by human interactions and environmental issues; not just by natural selection.

Answer 2

Evolution is the theory that species can change overtime because only the strongest survive to pass their traits onto the next generation, so the weaker animals or plants don't pass their weak traits on, though because of modern medicine it no longer works with people. The first person to really put evolution into context that makes sense was Charles Darwin in his The Origin of Species.

Answer 3

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. A change over time in populations of living things.

Charles Robert Darwin is the developer of the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains much about the fact of evolution. The concept of evolution was understood well before Darwin but he developed, along with Alfred Russel Wallace's independent discovery, a mechanism for evolution

Answer 4

Evolution is the concept that a species or individual animal that is well-adapted to its evironment will have a greater chance of surviving long enough to produce offspring. Hence, they traits which make the species or animals successful will be passed on to a new generation. This also means that animals or species not well-adapted to their surroundings are less likely to survive long enough to produce offspring.

The theory of evolution was first formulated (written down and understood) by Charles Darwin. He was an English naturalist (studied animals and plants).

Evolution is often generalised by the phrase 'survival of the fittest' where fittest means 'most suitable for purpose of survival' as opposed to cardio-vascular (athletic) fitness.

Answer 5

Evolution is most famously associated with Charles Darwin. He is credited as the first to develop a scientific argument for the theory of evolution through natural selection.

Answer 6

The theory of evolution is associated with Darwin's theory. The notion of the theory is all life are related and has descended from a common ancestor.

Answer 7

Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution, which explains how the different species came to be from common ancestory

Answer 8

Charles Darwin
