The Industrial Revolution was between 1750 and 1850. During the Industrial Revolution there was a species of peppered moths that lived near a factory when the factory produced black soot. The bird the Great Tit loved a nice tastey peppered moth! The light colored moths you see below stand out against the black soot. On the other hand th black peppered moths camoflauged with the soot and the birds couldn't see them. Camopflauge is the ability to look like ones backround. Hunters wear camoflauge while turkey hunting so that the turkeys cannot see them. This allows them to easily kill them.

Another tool of evolution is called the fossil record the fossil record is the way that scientists use to find how old a fossil is and it's change over time for ex: the whale. scientists found changes in the whale by looking at the fossil record and it's changes over time. It was at some early point of time was a rather kind of land mammal over time the whale changed, getting rather close to what we see now as a whale however was a mix of a land animal and an underwater animal. Soon enough the whale turned into ~information from page 171 section one of "change over time" in the Georgia holt science and technology Life Science book.

Adaptation is most likely what the whale went through was adaptation. Adaptation are changes made to improve an organism's chance of survival and ability to reproduce in an environment. Most adaptational changes are actually rather physical but can also be changes in behavior. Most changes are for an organism's needs to meet and environment's standards. Organisms seem to accumulate certain physiological, behavioral, and structural traits gradually. There are 2 forms of adaptation : Physiological and Evoulutionary. Physiological adaptation is a form of adaptation that has to do with red and white blood cells and the ability to meet the kind of oxygen in the area. for example if an area is very cold overtime an organism that lives in the environment will over time become immune to it. Then there is evolutionary Adaptation which is the kind of adaptation occur when two species evolve together so that each benefits from the other. This mutual dependence can be seen as a relationship between something well devoloped and something barley developed for example the ant formica //fusca// and the larval (not yet fully developed) stage of the lycaenid butterfly glaucops stage//.// The butterfly caterpillar creates a sweet honey dew that the ants harvest as food. In return, the ants protect the caterpillar against wasps and other flying harmful organisim. this can be seen as a mutual relationship ~ Information from encyclopedia.com and from the Georgia holt science and technology Life Science book page 167.

Along with the many kinds of evolution and the many kinds of theories there comes the man with the many theories. Charles Darwin was born 1809. As a scientist in the 18th century he took his studies around the world but something shocked him along the way one day in the year of 1831 on the beagle he landed in the galapegos island where he saw many different kinds of animals which made him think of the theory of evolution One of the main questions was how so many different plants and animals arrived on the islands in the first place. His theory has allowed so many scientists to take their own notes and explore the theory of evolution.The time changing discovery have allowed many different scientists to study the islands and find animals and how they migrate time to time. Some, such as sea lions, fur seals, and penguins, could migrate with the help of the currents and giant tortoises are known to float and could have been carried by the same currents. Not only that, but during the rainy season, certain groups of vegetation break off and float to sea. Most reptiles, and others such as rice rats and insects must have used this route. some spores of many lower plants could have arrived through wind and other elements. some small insects such as spiders have been known to float. some birds could have also been transported there.The birds would mostly help plants by removing harmful seed before flying and then expelling them at their destination. Other seeds, with tiny hooks, could have attached to feathers and feet and been given a free ride. Seeds could have also been transported there ~information from aboutdarwin.com
