Q:l Howl doesl preformationl differl froml epigenesis?l
Answer:
Preformationl postulatedl thatl al fertilizedl eggl containedl al miniaturizedl
versionl ofl al tinyl human,l calledl al homunculus.l Epigenesisl directlyl
contradictedl thatl theoryl byl statingl thatl al fertilizedl eggl undergoesl al seriesl
ofl developmentall eventsl thatl eventuallyl forml al human.

Q:l Naturall selectionl positsl thatl organismsl thatl havel thel mostl
advantageousl characteristicsl willl survivel theirl environment.l Dol humansl
havel thel samel selectivel pressuresl forl naturall selectionl thatl theirl animall
counterpartsl do?l Arel humansl stilll evolving?l
Answer:
, Modernl humansl havel overcomel thel survivall barriersl thatl mostl animalsl
face.l Theyl (typically)l dol notl facel harshl environmentsl orl predatorsl becausel
ofl theirl abilityl tol shelter;l theyl dol notl needl tol huntl orl gatherl forl foodl
becausel therel arel markets;l theyl havel equipmentl andl clothingl tol helpl theml
tol bel strong,l tol climb,l etc.l So,l humansl dol notl facel thel samel selectivel
pressuresl thatl otherl animalsl dol forl survival.l Thatl beingl said,l theyl dol
continuel tol evolve.l Geneticl mutationsl occurl withinl populationsl thatl mayl bel
slightlyl advantageousl tol al certainl lifestylel (egl evolvingl thel abilityl tol digestl
milkl evenl intol adulthood),l andl thesel mutationsl mayl bel selectedl forl withinl
al population.l So,l evolutionl occursl evenl thoughl itl isl nol longerl al truel
"naturall selection"l forl survival.
