Was Charles Darwin the first person to develop a theory of evolution?
Charles Darwin went to an island (Galapagos)where he studied the beaks of finches. He noticed that the although the birds were from the same species, they looked different. This is how he worked out that "Species change over time to adapt to their environment."
What are 3 examples of evolution?
In terms of biological evolution, every species on Earth has evolved from previous species, and every anatomical feature, and every chemical pathway or other biological trait is also the product of evolution. Multicellular organisms evolved from unicellular organisms. Mammals and birds both evolved from reptiles, which evolved from amphibians which evolved from fish. (alternate answer) Evolution is still a theory. mainly because no has been able to explain why if a species "evolved" do we still have the original species... and why do we not have hundreds of transitional, "inbetweener", species. If an elephant came from a frog... there should be something in between. Are we to believe that something came from nothing, all by it's self... (reply to alternate answer) Evolution is still a theory, because theories are what science produces. Only religion produces dogma. Plenty of species are extinct, so I do not see the basis for your question ""why do we still have the original species?" However, evolution is not always a process of replacement. It is also a process of filling new ecological niches. So an earlier species can fill one niche while a later species that evolved from the earlier species can fill a different niche. Then there is the claim that "If an elephant came from a frog...there should be something in between" We don't know that the evolution of elephants can be traced directly to frogs, although in general (as I said previously) mammals did evolve from reptiles which evolved from amphibians. But of course, this means that there was something in between frogs and elephants. Actually there would have been a great many intermediary phases, some of which species still exist, and others of which are extinct. Finally, nothing in the theory of evolution says that something came from nothing, all by itself. Each step of evolution comes from a previous step, and the first step of biological evolution is non-living matter, known as the primordial soup. And that too can be traced back, step by step, as far as the Big Bang. The origin of the Big Bang itself falls beyond the realm of biological evolution and is a complex topic, and that too is not something from nothing (but I am not going to get into the details, which would be a digression). Also, for Creationists, it does you no good to complain that evolution tries to make something from nothing. You have no explanation of where God comes from. Your theory is the one that tries to come up with something from nothing.
How does homologous structures and analogous structures provide evidence that evolution has occurred?
Structures which are apparently different and performing different functions but their basic structure is similar are called homologous structures and indicate common ancestry eg. fore limbs of bat , whale , horse dog and man apparently different but are made up of humerus , radius , ulna , carpel , metacarpals and phalanges .
On which ship was the origin of species written?
The Origin of Species was not written on a ship. However, Charles Darwin started to write down his ideas of evolution a few years after he had come back from a journey with the HMS Beagle.
The first basic idea of evolutionary adaptation can be traced back to?
Jean Baptiste Lamark
If horse evolution can be traced back fifty five million years how long can human evolution be traced back?
It depends on what you mean by human; but a good point to choose is when hominina separated from the common ancestor with chimpanzees - that happened around 7 million years ago.
The evolution of the camel can be traced back at least 56 million years - Estimate the percent of this time that the modern camel has existed?
40%
Trace the evolution of desktop operating systems?
The evolution of desktop operating systems can be traced back to the 1970s. A major milestone was formed out from the partnership of Bill Gates and Paul Allen who founded Microsoft.
Why is the central core called brain?
because its evolution can be traced back some 500 million years to primitive structures found in nonhuman species.
