Evolutionary Thought Origins
Science - ✅✅ -An empirical process that relies on evidence and experiment,
involving the scientific method.
Falsifiable -✅✅ -A hypothesis that can be supported or rejected by collected
empirical evidence.
Paradigm - ✅✅-An intellectual framework for understanding a set of information.
Great Chain of Being - ✅✅-Concept dominating natural philosophy, legal code,
and religious doctrine, emphasizing the hierarchical organization of species.
Polygenism - ✅✅-The belief in multiple origins of humanity, in contrast to
monogenism.
Linnaean System - ✅✅
-The classification system proposed by Carolus Linnaeus,
including binomial nomenclature for species.
Taxon - ✅✅-Any unit of the binomial system of classification.
Catastrophism - ✅✅-A model proposed by George Cuvier to reconcile fossil
evidence with creationism, suggesting catastrophic events caused species
extinctions.
Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics - ✅✅-A theory by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
suggesting traits acquired during an organism's lifetime can be passed on to
offspring.
Adaptive Radiation - ✅✅ -The process by which a single species evolves into
diverse forms to exploit different environments.
Natural Selection - ✅✅
-The process by which organisms better adapted to their
environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Artificial Selection - ✅✅-Selective breeding by humans to promote specific traits in
organisms.
Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection - ✅✅-Formulated based on
observations and deductions in 'On the Origin of Species'
Struggle for Existence - ✅✅-Competition where some species members perish,
others survive
