Darwin would explain the changes in the horse over time through the process of natural selection. As the environment changed, horses with advantageous traits, such as longer legs for faster running to escape predators or better teeth for consuming different food sources, were more likely to survive and reproduce. Over generations, these advantageous traits became more common in the population, leading to the evolution of horses into the forms we see today.
He didn't understand genetics. Gregor Mendel had just discovered some of the laws of inheritance; Darwin thought that when organisms bred the offspring would be a blend of the two parents - so if a tall father and short mother had offspring they would be of average height. Mendel's experiments with bean plants showed that what would actually happen is the offspring would be tall or short. What's slightly frustrating is that Darwin had Mendel's paper in his possession, but as it was in German from an obscure monk, he'd never read it.
There are many famous discoveries in Darwin's work, but I would say what Darwin is most famous for the discovery of evolution.
Charles Darwin's mother, Susannah Darwin, came from a wealthy family and was a keen gardener and naturalist. She passed on her love of nature to Charles, who would later go on to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection. Susannah also played a significant role in supporting Charles's education and development as a scientist.
Charles Darwin viewed nature as a dynamic and interconnected system where all living organisms are constantly evolving and adapting to their environments through the process of natural selection. He saw nature as a battleground where only the fittest species would survive and pass on their traits to the next generation. Darwin emphasized the importance of observing and studying nature to understand the complexity and beauty of life on Earth.
He didn't. Evolution is a theory of descent with modification. It is a description of past and present biotic reality. Science gives a description of reality, not a prescription of human behaviour. Social Darwinism in not science, not inspired by science and not inspireable by science, and would surely not have been endorsed by Darwin.
He would say that the environment shapes the microbe so that it will survive. Remember the saying: "the survival of the fittest"? Although Darwin never said that exactly.
He would have said it was a man made aid to support the infirm of gate.
for example; butterflies survive the changes by the flower cause flower is there food
What changes occurred in the size of the horse from Hyracotherium to Equus? 5. Describe the overall changes in foot length, number of toes, and size of toes in the horse over time. that had them these horses would have had a greater chance of surviving that horses not adapted.

Im sure that if you take your horse to the vet and ask them to explain what you should do with your horse they would tell you and i recommend going to a horse sight before that and type in horse questions and answers and in the question box just put in there what you are asking here and im sure you will get a more accurate answer.
Well, when something changes, you would not know which variable caused the change in the experiment.
I am doing a roundtable project where we have to pretend newton and darwin live in the same time. How would newton react to darwin's theory of evolution and what type of things would they argue/debate over?
What exactly are you referring to? Drum-making technique? The history of drums? The changes that have happen style-wise in popular music? If you explain the question better, I would be glad to answer it for you!
Well considering Darwin's Evolution Theory it may or may not look the same, it depends on the environments it may endure in the future. That is if they are still around and not extinct.
Darwin proposed that there are many forces that cause living things to changes overtime and one of these forces would be climate. Climate can change organisms and make them adapt.
