Evolution Theories

1.-Conditions of the environment change and generate new needs in the individual which demand that they modify their behaviour

Lamarckism or impersonation Species transform due of the environment induced modifications of the place where they live these transformations a transmitted to their descendants.

2.-The need creates the organism the organs most used develop more and the least used atrophy or can even disappear

3.-The acquired modifications are transmitted to their offspring and favor the origin of a new species

Darwinism or evolution by natural selection: species evolve slowly by the action of natural selection.

1.-Between individuals of the same species there are differentiated characteristics or variations that are inherited

2.-The fight for survival the individuals generate as many descendants as possible.

3.-Survival of the most apt the individuals that have more beneficial variations survive and produce more descendants

4.-The natural selection acts over the species and has beneficial variations causing them to change continuously and to originate a new species

Neo-darwinsim or synthetic of evolution: the evolutionary processes are produced by the changes presents in the genetic composition of populations

1.-Mutations as a source of variability. these are inherited changes produced in the genetic material and give place to differentiation among individuals .

2.-Sexual reproduction increases variation because it generates new gene combinations thus different individuals

3.-Natural selection acts over certain individuals so that they have more possibilities of producing offspring

4.-The adaptation to an environment is produced in the course of time and leaves as result a population which is better prepared to survive in the enviromente

5.-The speciation is a mechanism of formation of a new species from populations already adapted to the environment it is the product of three factores

Example: as a giraffe stretches its neck to browse higher in trees, the continuation of the habit over an extended period results in a gradual lengthening of the limbs and neck.

Example: treefrogs are sometimes eaten by sneak and frogs
