Natural Selection Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution to explain the diversity, complexity, and origin of life. According to Darwin evolution takes place via Natural selection. Natural selection can explain diversity with in species, but I have yet to see anything that could make me believe that natural selection can create new species, or the origin of life. Natural selection is a natural process in ... just optimizes the existing gene variation with in a particular species. Science now days use microevolution to explain macroevolution.

Yet biological and cultural evolution each has "rules of its own- and confusing the two is a grave error.
