The idiots guide to evolution!

This is a simple guide to evolution that hopefully anyone can understand.

Its not meant to scientific or 100% accurate. I have kept it as simple as possible!

Its meant to show that anyone can grasp evolution.


Script: Evolution is natural process where beneficial mutations in an species are selected by something called natural selection.

Lets take a simple animal like a Fruit fly for example these animals have a very short lifespan of only a fews days. Now imagine there was a fruit fly with a mutation that allowed him to live just a little longer. This mutation could give him slightly stronger wings to fly faster or slightly better eye site to avoid predators. This mutation may only allow him to live for a few hours longer than the average fruit fly.

This extra lifespan will afford him a better chance of passing on this mutation to his children who will then have the same mutation Eventually this mutation could spread throughout the entire species and combine with other mutations to form a whole new wing or eye system for fruit flies.




This process is natures way of selecting which species are best suited to the environment they live in. This process is completely naturalistic it does not require a god to make it it work.

Haha.. I don't see any need to be hostile to me. I wasn't atempting to sound superior. I did major in anthropology in college... yet I was really saying it's simple in comparison to the hocus pokus of the Bible.
