17 mar 2004 · Hence, neo-Darwinism (i.e., the expanded theory of Darwin) – a term that was coined by Romanes – enriched Darwin’s original concept by drawing attention to how biological variation is generated and by excluding Lamarckian inheritance as a viable mechanism for evolution.
29 sie 2012 · We propose that Darwinism represents a genuine example of an adaptive scientific framework. By recognizing the shift in the features characterizing Darwinism, we can understand its relationship with theories on the origin of life in a non-dogmatic line.
15 maj 2013 · Contrary to Gánti’s solution, the evolutionary conception of life treats life as a collective phenomenon, therefore the capacity of evolving (the reproduction is one of requirements for evolution) is considered as a real and not a potential property of life.
This theoretical framework concomitantly depicts both the microcosm—the biology, chemistry, and physics of the existing living cell—and the macrocosm—the astrophysical and biogeophysichemical (geospheric, hydrospheric, atmospheric, biospheric) process underlying the evolution of life on Earth.
The tree of life or universal tree of life is a metaphor, conceptual model, and research tool used to explore the evolution of life and describe the relationships between organisms, both living and extinct, as described in a famous passage in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859).
Define adaptation. Explain convergent and divergent evolution. Describe homologous and vestigial structures. Discuss misconceptions about the theory of evolution. Evolution by natural selection describes a mechanism for how species change over time.
Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. When living organisms reproduce, they pass on to their progeny a...
