Evolution - Mr. Gittermann
... All organisms show individual variations mostly due to heredity Some variations are better adapted to survive These organisms that are more likely to survive therefore reproduce, therefore increase frequency of better adaptations Change over long enough time results in new species ...

The Theory of Evolution
... 3. Competition amongst species lead to the fittest offspring surviving (there are always more babies than the environment can support – they compete for resources to survive and best adapted wins!) 4. No single act of creation needed for each species. 5. Humans are different by ‘degree’ not kind. ...
