Gradual development. 3. Biology a. The theory that groups of organisms change with passage of time, mainly as a result of natural selection, so that descendants differ morphologically and physiologically from their ancestors. b. The historical development of a related group of organisms; phylogeny. . . Biological evolution is a powerful and important process. It is a process which, over billions of years, gradually selects the organisms that are better adapted to their environments, and in this way takes advantage of random mutations to continuously change life and make all living organisms in existence be the way they are. Evolution is not a finished event, of which we, humans, are the final product. Rather, it is a continuing process which has been changing and forming life on earth for billions of years and continues to do so for as long as organisms are being born, dying, and competing for what they need to survive and reproduce. The purpose of this web site is to teach and explain what evolution is and how it works. This web site is designed for children, but can be used by teachers or by anyone who wants to learn about this amazing process of life.

Daniele Fanelli investigates EXPERT GUIDE Instant Expert: Evolution In 1859 Charles Darwin published his theory of natural selection amid an explosion of controversy . Like the work of Copernicus in the 16 th century revealing the movement of the Earth, Darwin's idea shook the foundations of the establishment and profoundly altered humanity's view of its place in the universe. Today evolution is the unifying force in modern biology; it ties together fields as disparate as genetics microbiology and palaeontology . It is an elegant and convincing explanation for the staggering diversity of Earth's five million or more living species Evolution has several facets. The first is the theory that all living species are the modified descendents of earlier species, and that we all share a common ancestor in the distant past . All species are therefore related via a vast tree of life.

What is Evolution? You are here: Science Learn More about Darwin's Theory of Evolution! What is Evolution? What is evolution? Evolution is technically defined as: "a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form." As it is most famously used, "evolution" is the process by which an organism becomes more sophisticated over time and in response to its environment. The Theory of Evolution is currently the most popular concept of how life reached its current state. Evolution as a biological mechanism is driven by natural selection. This theory is favored by many scientists to explain phenomena in nature, so much so that it is generally assumed as factual in most studies. In reality, evolution is not without controversy. Religious objections aside, in-depth analysis of evolution raises doubts that the scientific community is hard pressed to answer. Evolution has never been fundamentally proven, and most scientists admit as much. Ironically, many evolutionists defend the theory using arguments once attributed to fundamentalist Christians, such as "it just makes the most sense," and "because I choose to believe it," or "because I refuse to believe the opposite." These scientists fill in the gaps in the evolutionary model using reasonable assumptions, something for which non-evolutionists are often criticized. Evolution has several important components: Natural Selection, Macro-evolution, and Micro-evolution. Evolution as a theory existed long before any evidence for its components was recorded. Scientific studies eventually were able to interpret data through an evolutionary viewpoint and link these core concepts into the modern theory of evolution.

Evolution Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Ancient Greek Views Medieval Views In Modern Philosopy In German Idealism ... Spencer's View Ancient Greek Views If the mechanical view is to be found in these philosophers, the teleological occurs in Heraclitus, who conceives the process as a rational development, in accordance with the Logos and names steps of the process, as from igneous air to water, and thence to earth. The Stoics followed Heraclitus in the main lines of their physics. The primal principle is, as with him, igneous air. only that this is named God by them with much greater definiteness. The Godhead has life in itself, and develops into the universe, differentiating primarily into two kinds of elements the finer or active, and the coarser or passive. Formation or development goes on continuously, under the impulse of the formative principle, by whatever name it is known, until all is once more dissolved by the ekpyrosis into the fundamental principle, and the whole process begins over again. Their conception of the process as analogous to the development of the seed finds special expression in their term of logos spermatikos . In one point the Stoics differ essentially from Heraclitus. With them the whole process is accomplished according to certain ends indwelling in the Godhead, which is a provident, careful intelligence, while no providence is assumed in Heraclitus.
