Charles Darwin: Origin of Species


With animals having separated sexes there will most cases be a struggle between the males for possession of the females.

      Throughout Charles Darwin’s, Origin of Species, numerous techniques are employed to convey a serious and evolutionary. Darwin’s belief in “natural selection” was a controversial topic that has created havoc in both the scientific community and various religious cults.  His usage of clever rhetoric allows for minimal amounts of controversy between groups with different ideologies. Furthermore, he was able to diverge into the seriousness of his scientific philosophy. The idea behind “natural selection’ is that the strongest animals are able to procreate and have their DNA transferred to future generations. However, the only way to create offspring is to find a mate. Thus, with animals of different sexes, there will always be a struggle for males to find females. In essence, the weaker males are not able to find mates and they die off along with their weak traits.
