What is the theory of evolution

We will see what kind of the process the theory of evolution lead to the today’s state through. In general , the theory of evolution is the thought that various creatures have diverged from one or a few original creatures for a long time. That theory had been begun to be thought in 18C , but that is established as one thought in 19C. A lot of people opposed this thought at that time because that is completely opposed to the Biblical traditional teaching (the opinion that all living things are created into now appearance by God , the Creator of the world) , so to speak , the theory of Creation , however that is gradually accepted.

Example

Buffon (1707~88) and Lamarck (1744~1829) , the naturalist in France , had developed an evolutional idea seen from natural history. However , it is Darwin (1809~82) and Wallace (1823~1913) that built the frame of the theory of evolution by introduce the mechanism of “natural selection” , living things that evolved hereditary which adapt their bodies to their surroundings survive as the reason that brings about evolution , and the thought was made public in “Origin of Species” . After that , this theory connecting to the theory of inheritance by Mendel (1822~84) set a high valuation “General theory” , which consisted of natural selection by hereditary variation happening to originate , was almost completed by J Huxley (1887~1975) . In the modern theory of evolution , species are regarded as more important than individuals , and the standpoint of inheriting species comes to the front.
