Evolution 101

0 Comments

 
Evolution is one of the most important ideas in the history of humanity. Before Charles Darwin examined the disparate evidence at hand and ushered this connecting thought into the world, descriptions of the history and origins of life all relied on mystical and supernatural stories with no basis in fact. We were a species groping in the dark for answers to our deepest questions. In the 150+ years since the publication of On The Origin of the Species, however, thousands of scientists have spent their lives researching the details behind the original theory and gaining an understanding of the implications it has had on the survival and adaptation of all life on Earth.

With this blog, I do not wish to battle those who still ignore the mountain of evidence behind this now indisputable idea, nor do I find it necessary to go into great detail laying out the proofs and processes that have gotten us to where we are today. That task has been well taken care of by many scientists in as simple or as detailed of terms as anyone would wish to find. What I want to do with my Evolution 101, is to just take a moment to summarize some of the main ideas that have been found to date and are relevant to the questions that a philosophical belief system will ask. That's my goal.

In Evolution 101, I've laid out simple definitions for 17 things I think are essential to keep in mind about the history and findings of evolution. What do you think? Are these items really important? Are any of them new to you? Do any of the definitions need to be clarified? Supported? What else would you include? Let me know in the comments below what you would do if you were laying the groundwork for an Evolutionary Philosophy - which I'll get to soon enough.
