Evolution

Evolution in the past has been the most disputable topic of discussion amongst the various known scientists. For what we see today and was also observed earlier in the yester years that there are various groups of similarly featured organisms within the other groups sharing a few or more similarities. Later, with the increasing query these characters and features were uniquely studied in depth to learn about the smallest yet the most basic cause after these changes, the genes and their genetic codes. But later when the main cause behind these various characteristics and features were learnt, the most important question of their evolution came forth and with it came “The Theory of Evolution”.
Today we know that there are various types of organisms on earth made of the organs, tissues and cells. But when we think of how life on earth originated, we end up confused without much idea about it. There have been various studies and theories such as the Big Bang, to describe the origin of our earth and thus life. But even today, there aren’t many evidences to clearly and rightly describe the theory of origin of life. Thus as the origin of life is not known, and so is the origin of evolution.
Evolution as we all know is a gradual process of modification where a given organism changes into a different more complex and better organism. In other words, it is also known as the process of developing with the passing time which is further governed by a few factors. It is known to us that the cellular life most primarily evolved in the water and then by the various natural methods, organisms came into existence which had fossil records. Thus, it is believed and proved that most of the organisms evolved from a single common ancestor to form the various other groups of organisms with variant characteristics. Organisms slowly evolved from their ancestors into better organisms due to the various types of factors supervising their survival. We know that apes are our common ancestors from which other organisms such as the orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, gibbons and finally humans evolved with the passing time and changing environmental and natural conditions. These changing features in the organisms were most primarily noticed by the well known theorist, Charles Darwin. He noticed the unique biodiversity of the various organisms in the Galapagos Island. This imperative observation further made him to observe that various other diversities in nature that are caused due to the changing surroundings and thus noted that the various changes in the body that are in some or the other way useful to us, remain while the others simply fade off. This very well described the evolution of human beings from apes and that of plants from the small algae.
