When evolution started?

In living organisms, evolution started in the very first living cell that contained mutable nucleic acid. The instant a reproductive living organism ( immediately post-abiogenesis) that contained a nucleic acid, evolution could begin. This would have happened in the first life of the Precambrian (3 800 million years ago).In the world of anthropic learning and discovering the Universe, Charles Darwin thought up a name for the mechanism of evolution in the 1800s and published On the Origin of Species in 1859. In other words the world has known about evolution since 1859.


What do evolution scientists do?

There's no such thing as an "evolution scientist". There is, however, such a thing as an evolutionary biologist. Evolutionary biology encompasses all research into the evolutionary processes that shape life. This includes an extremely wide variety of activities, which is difficult to summarize in a few words. Thy are sarchig for gold.


What is was the name of Darwins theory?

Charles Darwin was not the first to recognise the role of evolution, but he did recognise that evolution came about by variability and natural selection. Darwin believed that when a natural variation gave a survival advantage, that individual was more likely to survive and pass on the genes responsible for that variation. He saw that varieties can be developed in a sufficiently short period to be studied, and said that evolution of species is just an extension of the observed evolution of varieties. Darwin said that [in nature] a well marked variety can justly be called an incipient species, although the variety, for any number of reasons, may never progress to becoming a distinct species. He published his most important work, The Origin of Species, in 1859 and The Descent of Man in 1871.

What is the difference between borrowed words and cognates in terms of their impact on language evolution?

Borrowed words are taken from another language, while cognates are words with a common origin in different languages. Borrowed words can influence language evolution by introducing new vocabulary, while cognates show historical connections between languages.

How many words in the theory of relativity?

The theory of relativity consists of numerous mathematical equations and concepts that describe the behavior of space, time, and gravity. It is not possible to determine the exact number of words in the theory as it is primarily expressed in mathematical notation rather than words. However, there are many books and papers written about the theory of relativity that explain the concepts in words.

Do evolutionists believe in natural selection?

" Evolutionists? " Believe in? " Two words/phrases that are ideological in nature and have no place in a scientific discussion. Evolutionary scientists accept the overwhelming and convergent evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. This is the best explanation we have for the adaptive changes seen in evolution.
