EVOLUTION
It is generally accepted that present-day animals and plants differ from those of the past, having changed by a general process called evolution But this theory has been widely accepted for little (73) _ than a hundred years The present theory of evolution was developed (74) _two naturalists – Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace – working independently
When he was a young man (75) _ 22, Darwin went as naturalist on a
round-the-world, map-making cruise aboard a British naval survey ship, HMS Beagle The cruise began
in 1831 and lasted (76) _1836 In the Galapagos islands, Darwin came (77) _a group
Trang 4of birds, later to become known (78) _ “Darwin’s finches” They were similar to one (79) _in their color, song, nests and eggs, and were clearly descended (80) _the same finch stock, (81) _each had a different kind of beak and was adapted (82) _a different way of life (83) _were seed-eaters, fly-catchers, woodpeckers and various other types
Darwin assumed that the ancestors of all (84) _types had been blown to the islands in bleak weather, had survived and changed somehow (85) _the various forms
In the years after the voyage, Darwin gradually came to the conclusion that individuals better suited (86) _their environment would tend to leave more offspring while those (87) _well adapted would die out
