Who is Alfred wegener and what did he theorize?

Alfred Wegener was a German geologist from the early 20th century. He was the 1st to theorize continental drift.Plus The evidence he used is that the continents seemed to fit together when you look at a map. He also used matching fossil evidence from the coasts of South America and Africa to prove this. He also did this with rocks from the different continents. One last point he used was ancient climate evidence that matched different areas of the world together at some point in the past. Although he made some groundbreaking theories his work was not widely accepted and was ridiculed by most of the scientific community in his day. This was mostly because he could not come up with a mechanism to explain the movement of the continents. His ideas later paved the way for the now accepted plate tectonics theory


How are evolutionary relationships important in classification?

Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins. The variety and complexity of life require organizing principles to help understand so diverse a subject area. Evolution is a concept that provides coherence for understanding life in its totality. It presents a narrative that places living things in a historical perspective and explains the diversity of living organisms in the present. It also illuminates the nature of the interaction of organisms with each other and with the external environment. Classification today is almost entirely based on evolutionary relationships. Even the findings of molecular biology have been focused on the nature of evolutionary changes. Evolution is the key to understanding the dynamic nature of an unfolding world of living organisms. Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace were the first to formulate a scientific argument for the theory of evolution by means of natural selection.
