Natural Selection

Natural Selection

Natural selection is defined as any consistent difference in fitness among different classes of biological entities (fitness meaning reproductive success). It is likely you have heard of the term "survival of the fittest" and probably in relation to the concept of natural selection. The usage of the term "the fitness" often implies one has the most physical strength, but it does not necessarily allude to the true definition of fitness in natural selection: reproductive success.

Let's visually explore the difference from being "the fittest" versus "good enough" and how it relates to natural selection below:

    This is very well put together and informative, love it! I think the example with comparing humans and robots is EXCELLENT because that provides a very obvious differentiation since robots are, well, robots. Great job!!

    I love the simplicity of how you described everything. Your post makes it very easy to understand the difference between survival of the good enough and survival of the fittest.

    I have no idea how you made such an incredible blog post, I struggle so hard with technology and drawing much that well. I cant even imagine how long it would take me to make something a fraction as great as this. STUPENDOUS!

    I loved your post this week! I liked your use of graphics to explain natural selection! It made your post so fun and captivating! You also explained natural selection very well and I liked your example!

Myths and Misconceptions

Myths and Misconceptions - "The Linearity of Evolution" A common misconception of evolution is that it is a linear process, meaning evolution is progressive and insinuating that there is an "end goal" (or predetermined destiny) surrounding evolution. However, there is no true goal or even intention of evolution, it is better to think of this process as a means of trials and errors, causes and effects, or experimentations and adaptations.  My interest in this misconception of evolution is its direct usage in the history of entomology. Theodor Eimer, a German zoologist, published a paper in the Oxford Press in 1897 disapproving of the Darwin's theory (which theorizes  that variation occurs randomly among populations/species and that individual traits could be inherited by its offspring) in favor of orthogenesis. The term "orthogenesis" states that  variations in evolution follow a linear direction and are not randomized. In this paper, Eimer argues for ...

Mutation and the Tree of Life

 Mutation and the Tree of Life It is helpful to view mutations as any change in the DNA sequence of a cell! In the following depiction below, I illustrate a simplified example of different types of mutations (substitution, deletion, and insertion) using geometric patterns as a model for a cell's DNA sequence.  Now let's step away from viewing mutations through a geometric point of view as seen above and turn to look at the role of mutations in organisms, specifically in cocomonteres (a fictional organism)! As depicted above, the cocomonteres' exposure to parasites ultimately led to a mutation that caused a deformity, specifically an increase in their amount of limbs. A similar tragedy can be found with  Ribeiroia ondatrae in amphibians in the Western United States of America ( see here for more interesting information on the topic ). Based on the information given above, do you believe their mutation was beneficial, harmful, and neutral? In the case of growing excessive l...

Convergence, Natural Selection, 'Survival of the Fittest'

Image
 Convergence, Natural Selection, 'Survival of the Fittest' Convergent evolution is the evolutionary relationship that occurs when organisms that are not closely related evolve similar traits or behaviors. Whereas, divergent evolution is the opposite of convergent evolution and occurs when two organisms share a common ancestor and evolve one or more traits and behaviors that make them different from each other. I have chosen the following example from "Improbable Destinies" to illustrate convergent evolution: different caffeine-producing plants. Using DNA comparisons, the author of this book built an evolutionary tree illustrating how coffee, tea, and cacao all occur on different branches of the phylogenetic tree. They are not closely related to one another. Coffee, tea, and cacao all convergently evolved due to them not being closely related based on genetic research but evolved similar traits or behaviors (in this case, caffeine production) as seen in the figure belo...
