Assignment: Answer the following questions below

WHO IS CHARLES DARWIN?
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882), the legendary British natural scientist, who advanced his theory of natural
selection as the basis for evolutionary study. An amiable great country man, however, Darwin surprised
the entire society of eighteen century England by hinting at a single solution of multitude of problems
that were hard to understand for those time. But the religious revivalists were disappointed in him for
advocating a biology without any religious reference while the rising class of the scientists has taken his
evolutionary imagery as the reference point of all science, literature, and politics by the time of his
death. A significant venue for both Darwin, himself an agnostic, and the great British public was
Westminster Abbey, in which Darwin himself was accorded the ultimate British accolade for his burial
labelled as his final resting place in London.

HOW DID HE COME UP WITH THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION?

Darwin just as his name revealed did the life and time of the people he encountered. He collected plant
fossils and took notes in behalf of educational purposes. Based on personal and third-hand accounts,
letters, government records, numbers, and times, he gained what was necessary to produce his science
theory in conclusion. Beside the label of this drawer lays the shells gathered by the famous Charles
Darwin during his journey on HMS Beagle ship.

WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF THE NATURAL SELECTION?

By the term "natural selection" we mean a process of evolution. Organisms that are more closely
adapted to their environment have a higher chance of surviving compared to those who are not as well
stretched out. Moreover, the organisms that have the genes that conferred success at survival would
have a greater chance of passing along these genes. Just so this development alienates species one from
another and fosters the development of diverse species over time.
