The theory of evolution was developed by Charles Darwin. He sailed on the HMAS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands.
He said that the finches were very similar, but had different beaks. This was probably so they didn't have to compete with other birds for food. They evolved by natural selection. This means that the bird with features best suited to the environment would breed and pass their characteristics on to the next generation. Birds not suited would die. This also happens with bacteria. Bacteria with a natural resistance to antibiotics would survive, breed and pass their genes onto the next generation.

What introduced the concept of biological evolution through natural selection?
Charles Darwin
How did Charles Darwin use the concept of density-dependent factors in his theory of evolution?
Charles Darwin used his concept of density dependent factors in his theory of evolution by formulating a scientific argument by use of natural selection. His demonstrations showed how natural selection is the only possible link between adaptation and evolution.
What theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
Gradualism is the concept but I would not give it the ranking of scientific theory. It is more a subset of the theory of evolution by natural selection and was first formulated into that theory by Darwin.
Why you study evolution?
I study evolution because it is the concept that underlies all of biology. Biology would still be natural history without the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection is the overarching theory that underpins all of biology while explaining much about the fact of evolution. " Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution. " Dobzansky.
Do you capitalize the concept of Evolution?
No
Darwins theory of evolution did not contain the concept that?
Genetic variations are produced by mutations and sexual recombination
What was Darwins theory translated into a theory about economic success?
" Translated " is not the correct word. The concept is called social Darwinism and has little to do with the theory of evolution by natural selection because it is not about the natural struggle for existence of individual organisms, but about how societies compete. This is not an evolutionary concept. Herbert Spenser devised this concept and Darwin did not have anything to do with it and really did not approve of the concept's tenets.

What famous concept did Darwin name for the first time?

What concept of evolution explains why organisms are constructed to meet the demands of their environment?
Natural selection explains adaptive change in the immediate environment.

When lions prey on a herd of antelope some antelope are killed and some escape which part of Darwins concept of natural selection might be used to describe this situation?
Survival of the fittest would be used to describe this situation.
Which concept is part of the theory of evolution by natural selection?
New generations are better suited to survive than previous generations.
Is evolution a theory or hypothesis?
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.
How is genetic diversity important to the concept of natural selection?
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
