What is the relationship between ecology and evolution? And is it possible that evolution can occur without natural selection?

Darwin was not the first to consider evolution as a process but he did come up with the first effective explanation for how it happens. Describe Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Explain how this theory was a major advance over prior ideas as to how organisms changed over time. Give evidence in support of evolution and describe the driving forces for evolutionary change.

3. What were the key observations made by Darwin to develop thebasic tenants of the theory of evolution? Has this theory beentested?

4. What are the most common misconceptions about evolution andwhy are they not valid arguments against evolution?

5. The key component of the theory of evolution is naturalselection. Define this process. Why is it commonly known asâsurvival of the fittestâ? What are examples of factors (selectivepressures) that drive evolution of populations?

6. What is the indirect evidence of evolution? What arehomologous and analogous structures? What is convergent evolution?How does similarity of proteins between different species supportthe idea of evolution?

7. Be able to explain why the following statement is true:Natural Selection works on individuals while evolution works onpopulations over generations. Or to put it another way: Individualsdo not evolve, populations do.
