it is uncertain because there were some species that werent discovered since 2006 so who knows if some had died too?
According to the theory of evolution, more complex animals develop over time from simpler ones. This would indicate that humans and gorillas, who share many traits, had a common ancestor which was neither a human nor a gorilla, but a simpler form of both. This ancestor would have lived millions of years ago, because the process of evolutionary improvement within a species is a very slow one. Many new species could not compete, or otherwise died off.
A species that has entirely died out is considered extinct. An example of extinct species are the dodo, saber-tooth tigers, woolly mammoths, Canary Island giant rats, Cape lion, and the Red Rail.
Animals have been going extinct throughout the history of the Earth. The first major mass extinction event occurred around 444 million years ago, known as the Ordovician-Silurian extinction, with various extinctions occurring since then due to factors like natural disasters, climate change, and human activities.
If you're referring to the guy who formed the theory of evolution, no. He died in 1882, I believe.
Possible so, as the theory of evolution by natural selection, though his greatest product, was by no means Darwin's only production. Just before he died he produced a treatise on earthworms that is still relevant today.
Evolution is always happening. Species are constantly changing to adapt to their surroundings. If evolution wasn't always happening, many different species would have died.
It is difficult to provide an exact number as the concept of evolution spans millions of years. Over the course of human evolution, many individuals have passed away, leading to the continued process of genetic variation and natural selection.
An ancient species of human who died out 27,000 years ago.
Evolution produces species that have the ability to survive and to reproduce. Organisms which die too easily would have died out long ago and would not still be present in the world as living species.
Darwin applied Malthus's idea of population growth outstripping resources to the theory of evolution by natural selection by suggesting that in nature, there is a struggle for existence due to limited resources. Organisms with advantageous traits that help them survive and reproduce in this competitive environment are more likely to pass on their genes to future generations, leading to the gradual adaptation and evolution of species over time.
It is; evolution occurs on a timescale so long that nobody will ever notice until a comparison is made with, say, the 10-thousandth generation onward; then you might see something. It is being affected by the way life is lived now, though; people who would otherwise not survive are cared for and supported well past the time when they would have died, and so the species progessively weakens overall. The fact that mankind is caring for and supporting the people that would not survive without, is part of our evolution too. Species do what they must do to survive, and behaviour is subject to evolution as much as fysical features. I understand that, but I'm saying as to why don't we see cave men any more or monkey looking people? Monkys are still around, why not the other species of the evolution?
Human evolution is one of the central topics within evolutionary biology. It attempts to explain the origin and evolution of Homo sapiens as a distinct species from other hominids, great apes and mammals. The study of human evolution uses many scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, primatology, archaeology, linguistics and genetics.While we have made great strides in the study of human evolution, there remains many unanswered questions. Just because these questions remain unanswered for now does not mean we will not find the answers in the future with more hard work and research.One thing is for sure, humans evolved from earlier primate ancestors. The exact lineage that traces humans back to their ancestors is still unclear, and the classification of humans and their relatives has changed considerably through time. The genus Australopithecus is now thought to be the ancestor of the genus Homo, to which we belong. Australopithecus was an evolutionary milestone for humans, because they are the earliest apes to begin walking upright, and walking upright lead to many advantages, including the ability to develop more intelligence. Australopithecus gave rise to Homo species such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and ultimately Homo sapiens.Human evolution is not one continuous series, as illustrations you may have seen would have you believe. Rather, human evolution is more like a branching tree containing many different primate species that have appeared and long since died out. We are still trying to figure out how exactly humans are related to these species.It is believed that the mental and social capacities of humans evolved too, as the ancestors of humans developed larger, more complex brains, and social structures also became more complex. Humans rely on living in groups to survive which is why it was essential for us to develop beneficial and cooperative social behaviors and structures that ensured the success of our species.There are some questions the theory of evolution itself may not be able to answer, especially moral and existential questions. The answers to these questions lie in philosophy and religion, not science. Nevertheless, there is evidence beyond reasonable doubt that humans are descended from earlier prehistoric apes, and that we are closely related to other apes of today, and the gaps in the human lineage continue to be filled as more research is done and more fossils are uncovered.
he believed that species better suited to their enviornment lived and reproduced while those not suited died off and eventualy became extinct(survivel of the fittest)
The term that best describes a species in which all the members have died is "extinct." Extinction occurs when a species no longer has any living individuals, meaning it has completely disappeared from the planet. This can happen due to various factors, including habitat loss, environmental changes, or human activities. Once a species is declared extinct, it cannot be revived.
When there is no variation at all, can you imagine all people are just the same. and also when there is an epidemic , since all of the cloned species is the same, all species may died and resulted in extinction.

Charles Darwin didn't 'discover' evolution, he theorized it, hence "The Theory Of Evolution" He used research and facts to support his theory and put his findings and evidence in his book "On the Origin of Species" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species
