If animals are well-adapted
to their surroundings (from
his Beagle voyage) ...
• If poorly adapted animals
will not survive long
(Beagle voyage again) ...
• If the Earth is very old
(from Lyell, and sights in
South America) ...
• And if the Earth has

South America again) ...
***THEN, animals must

Natural selection

Question 6

**Alternatives to natural selection?

Answer 6

• Theistic evolution: evolution is directly guided by
God.
• Neo-Lamarckism: evolution is driven by the
inheritance of acquired characters.
• Orthogenesis: living organisms have an innate
tendency to change, in a unilinear fashion, in a
particular direction.
• Saltationism: new species arise as the result of
large-scale mutations.

• … we should see evidence of new species forming
from older species.
• … we should see evidence of transitional forms
between groups of organisms.
• … we should see that all living organisms are
related, having shared a common ancestry.
• … we should see natural selection at work
