Basic law of Charles Darwin's Evolution

When most population think of evolution the first understanding that comes to mind is what in Darwin's time was known as transmutations: the idea that species convert in time and space (geographic location). Darwin did not produce this idea which had been around since the 18th century at least. Even the idea of humans being classified with the great apes was not Darwin's invention. However, in was the observations Darwin made on his trip that first convinced him transmutation must have occurred. He observed living sloths, armadillos, tapirs and anteaters in the same geographic locations as he collected fossils of extinct, similar yet distinct versions of the same creatures. He also observed the blending of one species into someone else with changing location. On his trip Darwin was struck by the way the coarse rhea was supplanted by a different, smaller variety of rhea the added south one went; this particular example of species changing with geography stood out in his mind. Why is it that two so similar yet inevitable species should be found living in adjacent regions? In Origin of Species Darwin described what he believed to be the most prominent mechanism by which transmutation occurs - natural selection. The basic concepts of natural option are.

- There is an potential variability within the individuals of any species.
- These variations can be inherited via sexual reproduction
- Some individuals will have variations that give them an benefit in the particular environment in which they live. Given that organisms yield more offspring than can survive, those with the most advantages are most likely to pass on these traits.

This can precisely be more accurately described as 'survival of the best fit' rather than 'survival of the fittest'.

This understanding of nature as a continuum extends to humans, meaning that humans are a part of nature. Does this leave humans no special place at all and make us 'nothing but apes'? No. Humans may be precisely a type of ape, but I believe we are also an example of the universe becoming aware and contemplating itself.
