What are the lines of evidence for evolution and how do they point to a common ancestor?
The lines of evidence are multitudinous and in order to find some of the answers you will need to study long and hard at length and in depth, as so many have done since before Darwin. Take a university degree course and be enlightened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_common_descent
What books did Charles Darwin write?
1839 - The Voyage of the Beagle
1858 - On the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection
1859 - On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation
of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
1871 - The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex
The most famous of these would probably be The Origin of Species.
Bardeen, Cooper, Schrieffer - these three scientists gave the theory to explain about the reason for super conductivity of materials. Hence named as BCS theory.
Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which certain substances at very low temperatures such as 3K or 4K their resistivity totally vanishes and become cent percent conductor. So named as super conductor
But actually, accidentally found by H. Kamerlingh Onnes. He found mercury lost its resistivity totally at 4.2K.
What type of natural selection causes no change in the population?
If a population exists in an environment that changes very little, then natural selection may not provide any pressure to change. However, even under these conditions genetic driftoccurs, introducing random change within the parameters set by natural selection.
Why Aristotle became the father of biology?
BCOZ, he accomplished great things on bology such as EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM.
What were the main ideas Lamarck proposed that influenced Darwin?
Lamarck proposed that traits acquired during one's lifetime could be passed to the next generation.
How is the scientific theory of evolution supported by different disciplines?
Relative and absolute dating of the rocks and the fossils near it (geology and archaeology), as well as chemical components of various surrounding areas are consistent in explaining the diversity of life as explained by theory of evolution. Evolution is also consistent with embryology, genetics, comparative physiology, biochemistry, and more.

Dark peppered moths in England have definite advantage over light peppered moths because they have the ability to blend in with the dark sooty trees affected by pollution. The light peppered moths are at a disadvantage because they stand out to predators (birds).
Why is the DNA of humans and chimpanzees so very similar?
Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor, so their DNA is similar due to this evolutionary relationship. The similarities in DNA reflect the genetic inheritance passed down from their shared ancestor, with only small differences accumulated over time. These similarities show how closely related humans and chimpanzees are in the evolutionary tree.
Who was the English scientist who proposed the theory known as natural selection?
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution included the natural selection as a means that determined which species would survive and which did not. It remains an open question in the present time.
What is it called when evolution that occurs as a result of chance events like catastrophe?
genetic drift
What evidence about the ancestors of whales do fossils provide?
You can see that Whales have hipbones, because they use to be mammals, that walked on 4 legs.
The same as Darwin's. They should have recived equal credit.
organisms change over time
Do Darwin's theories of evolution by natural selection contradict the principles of bio geography?
he's bent
What role did ozone play in the evolution of life on earth?
Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs much of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, allowing life to thrive on Earth. This protection was crucial for the emergence and evolution of life as we know it, as it shielded early organisms from UV radiation that could damage DNA and hinder biological processes.
What does Darwin theory of evolution explain?
The theory of evolution by natural selection.
It explains evolution; the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Why organisms change over time in differing environments.
if the theory provides support to the main point or provide a link on the research going on then it is accepted
Why are adaptations evidence of evolution?
Adaptations, such as structural changes or behavioral traits in organisms, are evidence of evolution because they reflect the process of natural selection acting on heritable variations over time. Organisms that possess advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing these traits on to their offspring, which can accumulate and lead to changes in populations or species. This gradual accumulation of adaptations is a key mechanism of evolutionary change.
How a group of organisms that changes over time is said to?
This is a very short and incomplete definition of evolution. Much more is involved than just change over time. Humans have been a species for over 75,000 years and we have not changed much. It would have to also involve some thing that gives that population an advantage to survive when the environment is extremely demanding and harsh.
How do mass extinctions appear to be related to the appearance of new major groups of organisms?
I was thinking the same thing. i think that its because when one group goes extinct the new major group thrives because somehow the now extinct group died off.
Yes. Except for a some viruses (which you can debate about whether they're truly alive) all life on earth contains DNA.
