Darwin

 

            Darwin states that that the law around us is life growing on this planet for example plants and animals and how we are almost alike in our own way. Darwin quotes; "It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us." What Darwin is saying this in paragraph is that there are so many different types of species evolving for one another and that it is interesting how animals, plants, humans every that you can image became about in this world. I guess the question is how did everything in this world evolve from where, when, how? Every scientist is trying to figure this out. I think that it is amazing how thing could reproduce and keep going in a cycle as traits keep being passed on over and over. The laws for Darwin states; "These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
