The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring. 

Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.

The theory has two main points, said Brian Richmond, curator of human origins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. "All life on Earth is connected and related to each other," and this diversity of life is a product of "modifications of populations by natural selection, where some traits were favored in and environment over others," he said.

What did the Jim Crow laws do? legalize segregation in the South permit suffrage for African American women determine a pull fac
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The Jim Crow Laws legalized segregation in the South of the United States.

Explanation:

The Jim Crow Laws were a series of ordinances and bylaws promulgated in the southern states of the United States and their counties, between 1876 and 1965. These laws, which constituted one of the major elements of racial segregation in the United States, distinguished citizens according to their race and, while admitting their equality of rights, they imposed segregation of rights in all public places and services.

The largest ones introduced segregation into schools and most public services, including trains and buses.

School segregation was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1954 (Brown v. Board of Education). The other Jim Crow Laws were abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
