EVOLUTION

Darwin’s evolutionary theory states that all living things originated from one ancestor, where then adaptation occurred through natural selection to the living things that are there today. According to Darwin, some minor genetic mutations were advantageous to the existence and survival of a species for instance if a species developed wings and learnt how to fly, that trait would be passed on to the offspring whose offspring would inherit the same trait and so on (Gould, 2002, p. 119). This theory suggests that all life is related, descending from one ancestor and undergoing genetic modifications for self preservation and survival. ...
