Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809.Charles Darwin is best
known for his work as a naturalist, developing a theory of evolution to
explain biological change. He studied specimens around the globe led
him to formulate his theory of evolution. He had 3 medals and they were
royal medals, Wollaston medal and the Copley medal. He died April 19,
1882.
Galapagos Finches
Found on the Galapagos islands, they are also known as Darwin’s Finches. They are considered
to be one of the world's fastest evolving vertebrae. Their appearance and behavior quickly
adapted the the rapidly changing environment. Today the finches are being attacked by a
parasitic fly.
Natural Selection
In natural selection, those variations in the genotype that increase an organism’s chances of survival
and procreation are preserved and multiplied from generation to generation at the expense of less
advantageous ones. Evolution often occurs as a consequence of this process. Natural selection may arise
from differences in survival, in fertility, in rate of development, in mating success.

more than 100 of it's class.The vessel, constructed at a cost of £7,803, was

Fitness
Fitness is to describe how good a certain organism is at leaving offspring.Fitness
depends on the environment. Fitness isn’t how strong or dominant an animal is,
but is how it can survive,find a mate,and reproduce. You would determine an
animal's fitness by how an animal leaves more offspring than another.

Survival Of The Fittest
“A 19th-century concept of human society, inspired by the principle of natural selection,
postulating that those who are eliminated in the struggle for existence are the unfit.””The
individuals that are best equipped to survive and reproduce perpetuate the highest frequency of
genes to descendant populations. This is the principle known colloquially as survival of the
fittest.”
