What is Free Evolution?

Free evolution is the notion that the natural processes that organisms go through can lead them to evolve over time. This includes the evolution of new species as well as the alteration of the appearance of existing species.

This has been proven by many examples, including stickleback fish varieties that can live in salt or fresh water, and walking stick insect types that prefer particular host plants. These mostly reversible traits permutations do not explain the fundamental changes in the basic body plan.

Evolution through Natural Selection

The evolution of the myriad living creatures on Earth is a mystery that has intrigued scientists for 에볼루션 무료체험 decades. The best-established explanation is Charles Darwin's natural selection process, which occurs when individuals that are better adapted survive and reproduce more successfully than those that are less well-adapted. Over time, the population of well-adapted individuals becomes larger and eventually develops into a new species.

Natural selection is a process that is cyclical and involves the interaction of three factors that are: reproduction, variation and inheritance. Mutation and sexual reproduction increase the genetic diversity of an animal species. Inheritance is the passing of a person's genetic traits to the offspring of that person which includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Reproduction is the process of producing viable, fertile offspring, which includes both asexual and sexual methods.

All of these factors must be in harmony to allow natural selection to take place. If, for instance the dominant gene allele allows an organism to reproduce and last longer than the recessive gene The dominant allele becomes more prevalent in a group. If the allele confers a negative advantage to survival or reduces the fertility of the population, it will go away. The process is self reinforcing which means that an organism that has an adaptive trait will live and reproduce far more effectively than those with a maladaptive trait. The higher the level of fitness an organism has which is measured by its ability to reproduce and endure, is the higher number of offspring it will produce. Individuals with favorable traits, such as a longer neck in giraffes or bright white patterns of color in male peacocks are more likely be able to survive and create offspring, which means they will make up the majority of the population over time.

Natural selection is only a factor in populations and not on individuals. This is a significant distinction from the Lamarckian theory of evolution which states that animals acquire traits through use or disuse. If a giraffe stretches its neck to reach prey, and the neck becomes larger, then its offspring will inherit this trait. The difference in neck length between generations will persist until the giraffe's neck gets too long that it can no longer breed with other giraffes.

Evolution through Genetic Drift

Genetic drift occurs when alleles from a gene are randomly distributed in a population. At some point, only one of them will be fixed (become common enough to no longer be eliminated by natural selection), and the other alleles will diminish in frequency. In extreme cases, this leads to dominance of a single allele. The other alleles have been essentially eliminated and heterozygosity has decreased to a minimum. In a small population it could lead to the complete elimination of the recessive allele. Such a scenario would be known as a bottleneck effect and it is typical of the kind of evolutionary process that takes place when a lot of people migrate to form a new group.

A phenotypic 'bottleneck' can also occur when the survivors of a catastrophe like an outbreak or a mass hunting incident are concentrated in an area of a limited size. The survivors will be largely homozygous for the dominant allele, which means they will all have the same phenotype and consequently share the same fitness characteristics. This may be caused by conflict, earthquake or even a disease. The genetically distinct population, if left vulnerable to genetic drift.

Walsh Lewens, Walsh, and Ariew define drift as a departure from the expected values due to differences in fitness. They give a famous instance of twins who are genetically identical, 에볼루션 룰렛 share the exact same phenotype and yet one is struck by lightening and dies while the other lives and reproduces.

This type of drift is crucial in the evolution of a species. But, it's not the only method to progress. The primary alternative is a process known as natural selection, where the phenotypic diversity of an individual is maintained through mutation and migration.

Stephens asserts that there is a significant distinction between treating drift as a force or as an underlying cause, and considering other causes of evolution like mutation, selection and migration as causes or causes. He claims that a causal-process account of drift allows us distinguish it from other forces, and this distinction is essential. He further argues that drift is a directional force: that is, it tends to eliminate heterozygosity, and that it also has a size, 에볼루션게이밍 that is determined by the size of the population.

Evolution by Lamarckism

Biology students in high school are frequently exposed to Jean-Baptiste lamarck's (1744-1829) work. His theory of evolution is often known as "Lamarckism" and 에볼루션 무료체험 it states that simple organisms grow into more complex organisms by the inherited characteristics which result from the natural activities of an organism, 에볼루션 바카라 체험 use and disuse. Lamarckism is illustrated through the giraffe's neck being extended to reach higher levels of leaves in the trees. This process would result in giraffes passing on their longer necks to their offspring, who then get taller.

Lamarck the French Zoologist from France, presented an innovative idea in his opening lecture at the Museum of Natural History of Paris. He challenged traditional thinking about organic transformation. In his opinion living things evolved from inanimate matter through the gradual progression of events. Lamarck was not the first to propose this but he was thought of as the first to give the subject a comprehensive and general explanation.

The popular narrative is that Lamarckism grew into an opponent to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, and that the two theories battled out in the 19th century. Darwinism eventually won and led to the development of what biologists today refer to as the Modern Synthesis. The theory argues that acquired traits can be passed down and instead, it claims that organisms evolve through the selective action of environment factors, including Natural Selection.

Lamarck and his contemporaries believed in the idea that acquired characters could be passed on to future generations. However, this idea was never a central part of any of their theories on evolution. This is largely due to the fact that it was never validated scientifically.

It's been more than 200 years since Lamarck was born and, in the age of genomics there is a huge amount of evidence to support the possibility of inheritance of acquired traits. This is often called "neo-Lamarckism" or more frequently epigenetic inheritance. This is a model that is as reliable as the popular Neodarwinian model.

Evolution through the process of adaptation

One of the most common misconceptions about evolution is its being driven by a struggle for survival. This view is inaccurate and ignores other forces driving evolution. The fight for survival is better described as a fight to survive in a specific environment. This may include not just other organisms as well as the physical environment itself.

Understanding adaptation is important to understand evolution. Adaptation is any feature that allows living organisms to survive in its environment and 에볼루션 게이밍 reproduce. It could be a physiological structure such as fur or feathers or a behavior like moving into the shade in hot weather or coming out at night to avoid the cold.

The survival of an organism is dependent on its ability to extract energy from the environment and to interact with other living organisms and their physical surroundings. The organism needs to have the right genes to generate offspring, and it should be able to locate sufficient food and 에볼루션 바카라 other resources. Furthermore, the organism needs to be capable of reproducing itself at a high rate within its environment.

These factors, together with gene flow and mutation, lead to an alteration in the percentage of alleles (different varieties of a particular gene) in a population's gene pool. This shift in the frequency of alleles can result in the emergence of new traits, 에볼루션 무료체험 and eventually, new species in the course of time.

Many of the characteristics we find appealing in plants and animals are adaptations. For instance lung or gills that draw oxygen from air feathers and fur as insulation long legs to run away from predators, and camouflage to hide. To understand adaptation, it is important to distinguish between behavioral and physiological characteristics.

Physiological adaptations like the thick fur or gills are physical traits, whereas behavioral adaptations, like the tendency to search for companions or to move to the shade during hot weather, are not. In addition, it is important to remember that lack of planning does not mean that something is an adaptation. A failure to consider the consequences of a decision even if it seems to be rational, may make it unadaptive.
