How do genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis support the theory of evolution?

Cystic fibrosis and other autosomal recessive diseases are not commonly put forward as strong evidential support for the theory of evolution, but being recessive, there is little negative selection pressure to remove the implicated mutations from the gene pool. Another factor to consider is that there are some indications of heterozygous advantage in the form of resistance to cholera, typhoid, diarrhea, and tuberculosis.


What is evolution and who is associated with it?

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.


What is the relationship between theory and practice?

Theory is an idea. Practice is what someone does. A person can take a theory and put it into practice to prove or disprove it.


What is Darwins view on heredity?

In short Charles Darwin's view of evolution is what is called as population thinking and variational evolution.He said the evolution takes place only at the population level not at the level of individuals and it is due to variation among the different members in the population of a particular species. The five main theories put forward by Darwin are: 1) Theory of inconstancy of species 2)Theory of gradualness 3)common descent(branching evolution) 4)Multiplication of species(origin of diversity) 5)Natural selection

How long has Evolution been debated?

The theory of evolution is no longer debated in the scientific community, because there is no competing theory that satisfactorily explains, or is supported by, the mounting archaeological and genetic evidence. Put simply, evolution is the only scientific theory consistent with this evidence. To distinguish a scientific theory from a common theory, refer to the related question, What is the Scientific Theory?.Elements of the general population have challenged and debated the theory of evolution since Charles Darwin presented his book, On the Origin of the Species, in 1859, and many continue to do so.
