1’52” INTRODUCTION
Over the centuries, different cultures have provided us with their particular versions of how we came into being.
Charles Darwin and the Theory of Evolution.
Modern science has perfected the basic concept about the origin of the species thanks to our knowledge of the mechanisms of genetic heritage, genes themselves and mutations
4’12” THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
What is the theory of evolution?
Lamarck established a relationship between evolution and environment.
Charles Darwin. The Galapagos Islands.
The book: “The Origin of the Species”
According to Darwin those species which were better adapted to their environment would survive.
Mendel. Hereditay features.
Genes. Chains of DNA.
Negative and positive mutations.
3’55” EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Some of the most reliable evidence to support the Theory of Evolution is to be found in fossils.
The Arhaeopteryx: half-reptile and half-bird.
Embryos follow the intermediate phases of their own development as a species.
Whales once lived on land.
Similarities between apparently different animals denote a far-removed relationship.
2’30” THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS NOT JUST A “THEORY”.
There is a popular misunderstanding on the importance of any theory. We present the evidence on how the Theory of Evolution is the backbone of biology. We also show how solid and sound it is from the scientific point of view. There is a general consensus on the basic lines of the Theory of Evolution.
