Study Notes

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

Evolution represents the gradual change in species over time, resulting in modern organisms arising from ancient ancestors.
The concept of descent with modification explains how traits evolve and are passed down through generations.
A scientific theory is distinct from a mere guess; it is robust, well-supported, and tested against observed phenomena.
Darwin's contributions to evolutionary theory laid the groundwork for understanding biological diversity and the processes driving these changes in organisms.
