15-3 Darwin Presents His Case

In March, he was told by the ornithologist John Gould that the finches found on seven islands of Galapagos differed from one another on a specific level. At this point, Darwin was fi ...

natural selection and heredity

One school maintained that species are individually created and are unchanging. It was agreed by many that slight deviations from the normal form occurred from tim ...

Although commendable as a starting point, such an approach can never answer the question, “Why executive functioning?” The prese ...
