Evolution

What is Evolution? You might think of evolution as a mutational problem, which fits with the situation but it is not just that. Evolution is actually the change that appears to happen in a certain population over time. When I say the word “population” I am saying it is a group of the same species that happens to share the same specific location and habitat. Evolutionary changes often occur all the time near the genetic level. What I am actually saying is that evolution is a process that will result in many changes in which are passed on or inherited from generation to generation. It does not, for example, describe how some people can just so happen to change their muscle mass by lifting weights or exercising. It is saying that generations change in appearance and possibly their behavior.

So they would pretty much all have the same or somewhat different characteristics. Some individuals take or inherit their characteristics that make them more successful at surviving and mating. These characteristics are obviously passed down from either their parents, grandparents, or even up to their highest ancestors. These very useful characteristics actually appear more often in the population and that is because those individuals that happen to be with less useful characteristics are actually more likely to die without even reproducing. Over time these changes have become more apparently common throughout that entire population, which usually leads to new species sometimes.

These species seem to adapt to the same environment every time, they even adapt to other environments as well sometimes. Human evolution is a subject that has started more than six million years ago. It all began in Africa, where scientists think our generation started a...

Third, in the fossil record, there are only a couple of changes between bigger groups of species, like between reptiles and birds, and these are arguable, even among the evolutionists. If evolutionary theory is correct, the fossil record should be full of reptiles and birds. Fourth, there are no real evolutionary answers for the cause of difficult adaptations like the tongue of the woodpecker, flight in birds, mammals, insects, and even reptiles. Examples also contain; swimming, adaptations in fish, mammals, reptiles, and the marine cycle of life. And fifth, there happens to be no genetic mechanism for these major evolutionary modifications. The theory of evolution from ape to man is a mystery and will most likely always remain one as well.
