Darwin saw evolution as happening through the combination of chance variation and natural selection. The theory goes something like this. Individual organisms of any species are born with variations that occur randomly. Some of these variations are inheritable, meaning [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=evolutionaryphilosophy.com&#038;blog=6391849&#038;post=293&#038;subd=evolutionaryphilosophy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
