The Theory of Evolution According to http://www.allaboutthejourney.org/theory-of-evolution.htm, the theory of Evolution was developed by Charles Darwin, in the 19th century. Darwin suggested that the millions of species in the world have evolved slowly over the millions of years, from a common ancestor. This also includes humans. This idea proposed that the individual adapted to the environment by traits that have been passed on. According to the passage, “Over time these advantageous qualities accumulated and transformed the individual into a species entirely different from its ancestors (e.g. birds from reptiles, whales from bears, humans from apes, etc).” They theory of Evolution states that the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. The passage says that, the earths atmosphere contained little air, but had a lot of water vapor, and other types of gasses, including, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. It is also believed that the earth was incredibly hot. According to the website, http://anthro.palomar.edu/evolve/evolve_3.htm, evolution is a genetic change in a population from one generation to another. When a population continues to evolve, can cause the development of a new type of species lines. The theory of evolution, is a theory. Which means it’s the same propositions that the earth is round, not flat, or that our bodies are made of atoms. Those are theories. In the article it says, “Most people would consider such fundamental theories to be sufficiently tested by empirical evidence to conclude that they are indeed facts.” Due to the massive amount of evidence over the last two centuries, we can say that evolution has occurred, and will continue to occur. According to the website, http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/tj/v17/n1/dna, a new report from the Nation Academy of Sciences suggests that the 98% DNA share of chimps and humans is incorrect. An author of the study, Roy Britten, says its about 95%. There is much more to these studies than a lot of people realize. The 98% has been misleading because it depends on what is being compared. There are a significant amount of differences that are difficult to quantify. According to the passage, “. The differences
