    Evolution is defined as the change in characteristics of a species over generations through natural selection. Early philosophers like Aristotle and Empedocles noted that organisms undergo changes over time. Georges-Louis Buffon observed structural variations in related animals and thought environmental factors caused changes, though species were created separately. Erasmus Darwin proposed all organisms share a common ancestor, while Jean Baptiste Lamarck developed the first scientific theory of evolution, believing acquired traits from use and disuse could be inherited and lead to the emergence of new species.

    History of evolution

    Presented by: Joshua Rivera


    What
    Is
    evolution?
    Evolution is the change in the
    characteristics of a species over several
    generations and relies on the process of
    natural selection. The theory of evolution is
    based on the idea that all species? are
    related and gradually change over time
    Aristotle and empedocles
    - Living organism undergo changes through time -
    Georges-Louis Buffon
    ● Specific organs of related
    animals have structural
    variations.
    ● Change in organisms is brought
    about by action of the
    environment.
    ● There is special creation of
    species, so change is degenerate
    Erasmus Darwin
    ● All organisms share a
    common ancestor.
    Jean Baptiste Lamarck
    ● Basis of his theory is the widely accepted
    theory of inheritance during his time
    (need is the driving force to develop new
    organs, or modify existing organ) on
    the other hand,
    ● Disuse leads to degeneration of organs.
    ● Species could not become extinct, it
    simply evolves into different species is
    his conclusion
