Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey. DNA – The Molecule of Life. Was Darwin Wrong? The work of the 19th-century English naturalist shocked society and revolutionized science. How well has it withstood the test of time? Evolution by natural selection, the central concept of the life's work of Charles Darwin, is a theory. It's a theory about the origin of adaptation, complexity, and diversity among Earth's living creatures.
If you are skeptical by nature, unfamiliar with the terminology of science, and unaware of the overwhelming evidence, you might even be tempted to say that it's just a theory. In the same sense, relativity as described by Albert Einstein is just a theory. Each of these theories is an explanation that has been confirmed to such a degree, by observation and experiment, that knowledgeable experts accept it as fact.
The rest of us generally agree. Evolutionary theory, though, is a bit different. This documentary is available for preview only. Quarter 2 Cells Links. Quarter 2 Self Assessment.
