The selective action of the struggle for existence between &within species

All species are characterized by variation between individuals

If changes occur in the physical enviroment, individuals will be exposed to new circumstances

Scientific classification of species

Testing hypothesis by studying:

fossils

any evidence of ancient life

molecular evidence DNA

comparative morphology

comparative embroyology

Artificial selection

is the intentional reproduction of individuals of population that have desirable traits
