 Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species

”A phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the
mechanism of natural selection, and Herbert Spencer first used the phrase, after reading
Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, in his Principles of Biology (1864), in which he
drew parallels between his own economic theories and Darwin's biological ones, and Darwin
responded positively to Alfred Russel Wallace's suggestion of using Spencer's new phrase
as an alternative to "natural selection", and adopted the phrase in “The Variation of Animals
and Plants under Domestication published in 1868, intending it to mean "better designed for
an immediate, local environment", is the description of ….
 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EARTH AND
THE EMERGENCE OF LIVING THINGS
Conclusion:
1. The Big Bang theory, first appeared in scientific form in 1931 is the expansion of the
observable universe began with the explosion of a single particle at a definite point in
time, and the beginning of the formation of the universe around 13,798 ± 0.037 billion
million years ago. The process evolved approximately 2.5 billion years to reach the
present state. Georges Lemaitre is credited as the father of Big bang theory.
2. Geological Time Scale [GTS] is divided into: Archean/Pre Cambrian, Palaeozoic,
Mesozoic, Cenozoic
3. Some reasons why Dinosaurs extinct: [1] Extreme climate change at that time. [2] The
emergence of flowering plants. [3] An asteroid hitting the earth. [4] Volcanic eruption
due to asteroid impact. [5] The failure of the dinosaurs to recover from a major
disaster.
