Paper Abstract:
Discusses Darwin's theory of evolution. His hypothesis that variations within a species are vital to survival of the species. Genetic characteristics. Adaptation. Modifications within a species. Darwin's empirical observations and findings in the ORIGIN OF SPECIES. Critical views of Darwin's methodology by his contemporaries. Impact of Darwin's scientific contributions to modern thought.
Paper Introduction:
Charles Darwin roamed the earth by land and by sea during a time in which preeminent and pervasive religious and scientific dogma defended a similar principle: that Creation by one supreme deity accounted for all life on this planet. From this, a hallowed belief in the fixity of the species followed logically and irrevocably. No surprise then, that Darwin’s hypothesis of natural selection was met by such staunch resistance from such a broad swathe of detractors. His arguments, though logically deduced from a catalog of exhaustive research, were viewed as unscientific, and therefore inconclusive.
Utilizing natural selection as the principle mechanism which drives the evolution of all species, Darwin was challenging more than scientific methodology, however. His contr
