To understand biology, you must first understand evolution. Theodosius Dobjansky, an eminent scientist, once said: “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. » The only scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth is evolution. This explains the abundance of remarkable qualities of similarity in different life forms, the alterations that occur within populations, and the establishment of new life forms. Teaching and learning about evolution has immense functional, logical, and utilitarian value that goes beyond understanding life on earth. The principles of evolution are the bases which have allowed the improvement of crops, livestock and agricultural techniques. Understanding evolution is also essential to the advancement of medicine. Another part of evolution called natural selection explains the increase in the number of parasites that are invulnerable to the pesticides we use. It could be said that Charles Darwin influenced our knowledge of life on Earth more than anyone. He was an English naturalist born in Shrewsbury, England on February 2, 1809 and lived until 1882. His father, Robert Waring Darwin, was a physician and his paternal grandfather, the famous Erasmus Darwin, was also a physician . as an admired writer and naturalist.

Then he quickly realized that he would like to become a naturalist. His theory of evolution by natural selection is what he is best known for today and is...... middle of article...... of 2) in an artifact to the report of C -14 to C-12 In living organisms, scientists can determine the age of an artifact. darwin-online.org.uk/biography.html http://www.truthinscience.org.uk/tis2/index.php/evidence-for-evolution-mainmenu-65/53-darwins-finches.html http:// www.victorianweb.org/science/edarwin.html http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/evolution.html http://www.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html http://www .allaboutarchaeology.org/carbon-dating.htm http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_25 http://www.collectingfossils.org/whatarefossils.htm http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/ difference-between-carbon-12-and-carbon-14/ http://acad.carleton.edu/curricular/BIOL/classes/bio302/Pages/CarbonDatingBack.html
