Delve into the core concepts of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and the mechanisms that drive evolutionary change in species over time. Learn how Darwin's observations and scientific methodology led to the development of evolutionary theory, and understand the evidence that supports Darwinian principles. Analyze the impact of Darwin's work on modern biology and how his ideas continue to shape our understanding of life on Earth. Examine the relationship between variation, inheritance, and selection pressures that form the basis of evolutionary processes, and discover how these concepts apply to both historical and contemporary examples in the natural world.
