Evo-Devo
Evo-Devo is a biology that compares the developmental processes of different organisms to see the ancestral relationship between them and see how this development evolved. So it starts back at the origin of the ancestor and then sees the process of development the organism goes through. I think think this is cool to look at to see how and why organisms develop into different things. There are many factors that go into an the development of an organism. I think one of the main things that causes change in development is ones environment.
How does Darwinism matter to me?
Charles Darwin developed the biological theory of natural selection. Natural selection is a theory where all small species of organisms develop through the natural selection of small, inherited traits that increase the individuals ability to compete, survive and reproduce. I do not know how this really matters to me but I think Darwin makes a very good case. It is survival of the fittest. The individuals that inherit the traits that help them survive longer will outlive the individuals that inherit weaker traits. Thus, this species will survive longer and these stronger traits will continue to reproduce.
