Science Revolution (Page 6)
青岛天龙中学 刘睿君
Charles Darwin’s the Origin of Species, published on 24 November 1895, is a seminal work of scientific literature. Considered to be the foundation of revolutionary biology, this book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence.
Have you ever had lessons on biological evolution in your primary school or junior middle school?
Summary of Darwin's theory

1. Every species is fertile enough that if all offspring survived to reproduce the         population would grow (fact).
2. Despite periodic fluctuations, populations remain roughly the same size (fact).
3. Resources such as food are limited and are relatively stable over time (fact).
4. A struggle for survival ensues (inference).
5. Individuals in a population vary significantly from one another (fact).
6. Much of this variation is inheritable (fact).
7. Individuals less suited to the environment are less likely to survive and less likely to reproduce，vice versa.

Many species have either died out or evolved into others. Can you use Darwin’s theory to explain this?
