Evolution isn't a steady process. When the environment changes, the organisms have to adapt quickly or perish. A theory known as punctuated equilibrium accounts for this. Any changes in then environment brought on by natural or artificial changes will cause animals to evolve to those changes. It may be that they just have to migrate where the climate is more suitable. When you look at geologic sequences, you can often see the different environments as the climate changed and a new suite of animals and plants took over. 

<span>It is fantasy to claim that the "old" environment was stable before humans came along unless you live in the tropics. There was a mile of ice over NYC and Chicago 15 thousand years ago. </span>

<span>Geologic changes can affect evolution by creating population splits which allows for speciation. For example, the thrusting up of a mountain range may cause one population to split into two. The separate populations may then evolve on their own sometimes into new niches. One population may stay relatively similar and the other may change dramatically.</span>

Which statement best describes urban areas during the late 1800s?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Many cities were overcrowded with limited housing and few sanitation services.

Explanation:

During the late 1800s, urban areas grew very fast because economic opportunities were better than in the countryside. This attracted people from rural areas, and also from abroad, who flocked to the cities too fast for the cities infraestructure to keep up with.

This made most cities at the time very overcrowded, with few public services that were overstrained, and with serious problems in terms of sanitation and public safety. However, people could still earn higher incomes than in the countryside, and despite all these problems, the cities did not stop being attractive for both domestic and international migration.

Ralph is aware that smoking is harmful to his health, but he continues to smoke. According to cognitive dissonance theory, it is
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C ''focus on the social advantages to smoking.''

Explanation:

According to cognitive dissonance, to reduce the tension or discomfort that causes us to do something against our beliefs and opinions, we rationalize or justify our actions to ourselves by reconstructing our attitudes. This happens when we have formed and stable attitudes. For example, knowing that smoking is bad for health and smoking a lot, the person is automatically motivated to make an effort to generate new ideas and beliefs to reduce tension until all their ideas and attitudes fit together, constituting a certain internal coherence and can perform the action with a certain mental and motivational balance.
