Evolution is what happens when organisms reproduce with variation of traits, and those variant traits are inherited by further offspring. It is the observed effect of the differential reproductive success of variants. Therefore, in order to have evolution, one single condition needs to be met: that autonomous replicators exist that reproduce with variation. The question therefore becomes: where did life originate from?

∙ 11y agoCharles Darwin did not invent the theory of natural selection. There were a number of people which thought of it before him. In fact, it seems that Darwin even stole the theory of evolution from Alfred Russel Wallace.

∙ 12y agoNatural Selection, as described by the Darwinian theory of evolution and natural selection, emerge through a series of genetic mutations within any given species of animal. When a mutation occurs which is favorable to the survival of a particular specie then that mutation becomes "selected" by nature to survive. The more this mutation aides in the survival the more common the mutation becomes, resulting in a new adaptation, feature, or appearance in the animal. For example. A particular type of fish may eventually evolve legs if it must travel on land to survive.
