- Well Thomas Malthus focus more on people and how they evolved through poverty by natural outcomes. But him and Darwin both had the same view its just Thomas studied more on plants and how nature produce their resources.
- Thomas Malthus was a political economist, he saw a lot of changes during the nineteen century he blame 3 types of elements such as: overproducing of the young, inability to control the amount of people and irresponsibility of lower class. He knew things had to change he wanted the families to produce less newborns that way they'll survive better rather than struggling with too many children and cant feed them and provide shelter for them this was a problems for low class families in england at the time. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/malthus.html
- There are many ways of how evolution works, there are plenty of examples such as:reproducing, limited resources, gene variation and weather changing etc. The humming birds were a great observation for Darwin, because biologist of today saw the opportunity to study these species and how they evolved overtime. They realize their vill started of small and how some other ones had bigger vill proving that the longer ones were healthier and were able to easily get nectarine sometimes that wasn't always that case because climates starting changing including natural resources.
- Charles Darwin was a smart person he was educated and like to discovered new things, he discovered the galapagos island to find answers of these wonderful species, he really studied hard to understand how they came about wanted to know more. He collected several species and looked at them one by one and felt in love with the different types of birds collected and kept them to study them for 23 years.
- Charles Darwin success help others find interest of the species around the world, the book helped teach the people the knowledge of species and understand their natural selection and how they evolve overtime.

Darwin was a smart man who brought a lot to our attention. He was very interested in the many unknown, unstudied species and figured a lot out about each one. Very good and informational blog. Nice bloggin!
ReplyDeleteBeing a political economist he could see “natural selection” play out amongst the different social classes and how it favored those with more resources, those with the most money. And in term, it would be those that would grow to prosper and traditional be of upper class and have a better standard of living. Also those with more resources will be able to evolve along with the environment, survival of the fittest in the real world. Good Blog.
