Did Charles Darwin have evidence to prove evolution?

No, of course not. Evidence does not prove evolution - it validates the theory.Evidence which Darwin had included limited fossils, and observed apparent speciation in birds.


One species evolves into another through the process of adaptation or speciation?

Evolution occurs through the process of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to their offspring. Over time, this can lead to changes in a population that result in the development of a new species.


In the 1930s how did dobzhansky and mayr explain the origin og species?

In the 1930s, Theodosius Dobzhansky and Ernst Mayr contributed significantly to the modern understanding of speciation through the synthesis of genetics and natural selection. Dobzhansky emphasized the role of genetic variation and mutation in populations, arguing that these factors, along with natural selection, drive the evolution of new species. Mayr introduced the Biological Species Concept, focusing on reproductive isolation as a key mechanism for speciation. Together, they laid the groundwork for the modern evolutionary synthesis, integrating Mendelian genetics with Darwinian evolution.


What affect do humans have on speciation?

As part of the environment of other organisms humans can have great effects on speciation. Especially adaptive radiation. As we contribute heavily to the extinction of some species other species flow into those open niches and radiate outwards to possible speciation.

Does convergent evolution result in speciation?

All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.


Why is mutation important to spectation?

Without mutation there can be no evolution. Without evolution there can be no speciation.

Is speciation an example of miro-evolution in organisms?

Yes, speciation is an example of micro-evolution in organisms. It refers to the process by which distinct species evolve from a common ancestor through the accumulation of genetic differences over time. This gradual divergence can lead to the formation of new species that are reproductively isolated from one another.


What is a macro evolution?

Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
