Is Charles Darwin's ideas Relevant Today?

What is relevant is the assumption by Darwin that Life is ever evolving, nothing is static. Darwin contended this; it is like plasticine or rubber, where life continues to mould itself, evolving in a process of natural selection where the weak or lazy give up and die, and the more forceful impose themselves by changing or adapting to the conditions to survive, grow and prosper.

Is it still the same today? I think so. What do you think? Are we still stuck in the same process of Natural selection as Charles Darwin contended some two hundred years ago? My acknowledge is, "Yes, most probably!"

Darwins

Your existence is the same. Evolution is something that is slow but when we stand way back (like geologists and paleontologists can do) they see the bigger photograph stretched out over time, as Darwin did.

Is Charles Darwin's ideas Relevant Today?

The race is survival, the close line is reproduction; this is what Darwin's Natural selection is defined as. It is the key definition to justify evolution. An example of animals surviving could be like the giraffe growing a longer neck to feed on vegetation other animals could not reach.

Humans have a similar fight for survival with disease. In their explore of Aids, microbiologists have taken great notice in Africa where a few sex workers who have endured long periods of sexual touch with many clients who are Hiv positive. These female sex workers have physically adapted and plainly come to be immune to the Hiv virus. These immune sex workers plainly go about their chosen work immune to the disease. How is that? Darwin might say it is an example of natural selection. I would agree.

It appears to be a great example of Charles Darwin's theory of the process of Natural Selection. Aids has been at the forefront of virus expansion since the early 1980's, and already some habitancy are immune to this deadly disease. Now that's evolution sped up, in real time today. Some of the women are connected to one another and have likely passed the resistance on to the next generation, the microbiologists have concurred.

Another example appears from hundreds of years ago, some habitancy had the genes to survive the plague which killed millions in Europe centuries ago.

Is Darwin's theory occurring today? If it is, is it relevant? Taking the example of the African sex worker, it maybe occurring. Future explore will deliver those results.

Natural selection is relevant today because it helps us understand the natural changes in our surroundings, and even those imposed upon nature by humans. Can you think of natural selection occurring today whereby it has been started by humans?

Here is an example. How about horse breeding. How about pigeon breeding. These are examples of human imposed natural selection and we are therefore part of that process.
