What has allowed animals to adapt over time?

Natural selection ensures that animals with features that increase their chances of survival are more likely to live and pass those traits on to their progeny.

Animals adapt to their surroundings over a lengthy period of time, which causes those changes. The evolution of adaptations happens across many generations.

<h3>What is an adaptation?</h3>
  • A physical or behavioral characteristic of an animal that enhances its ability to survive in its environment is known as an adaptation.
  • To put it another way, an adaptation is something a species does or has on them that makes it easier for them to locate food, water, mates, and shelter.
  • Among the adaptations that helped animals live and prosper on land are:
  1. Gas exchange using a moist membrane
  2. The ability to traverse land (limbs instead of fins)
  3. The capability of body water conservation
  4. The capability of reproduction and early habitability
  5. The capacity to endure fast environmental changes
<h3>What are the types of adaptation?</h3>

Depending on the environment, there are three basic types of adaptations: behavioral, structural, and physiological.

  • Physiological- When an animal's body's internal mechanisms adapt to its surroundings.
  • Structural - Over the course of millions of years of evolution, the animal's bodily features alter.
  • Behavioral - Animals adjust their behavior in reaction to their environment.

Elza [17]
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
Hope this helped a little!
