The chapter "Of Time and Change" in the book The Evidence of Evolution by Nicholas Hotton starts off by telling us the main phrase that sums up the history of man, "When do we eat?" (Hotton 7). Life has evolved over billions of years, from a microscopic bit of sea-born jelly to more than 1.25 million different species. All living things, no matter how different they are, are closely related to each other. Modern evolutionary theory was first set forth in detail by an English naturalist, Charles Robert Darwin, a little more than one hundred years ago. Evolution is a very controversial role in changing a man's view of the universe. The earliest sucsessful attempt to compare the bone structure of a man with another vertebrate was done by Pierre Belon in 1955.
This Chapter of The Evidence of Evolution connects with my topic by, talking about how evolution has changed over billions of years. All living things are related to each other. Pierre Belon is a french biologist that studys the difference in the anatomy of a big bird from the 1500's to a human body. There were simalarities in the shape, and function of the leg joints and heels, of hands and wings, rib cages, and feet and claws. Charles Darwin is one of the most famouse English naturalist that studied evolution ever. There was also a German biologist, Ernst Haeckel, who created the biogenetic law, that in the embryo an organism passes through a series of stages repeating the evolutionary history of its ancestry.
