Rotates?
Ex: Foucault's pendulum is an easy experiment demonstrating the Earth's rotation. When Léon Foucault first performed the experiment in 1851, the concept that the Earth revolves was nothing new or radical; the pendulum's accomplishment was to provide a proof that did not require minute observations of the stars or other objects far removed from Earth. Foucault's pendulum is a highly localized, easily prepared experiment whose result is clear, powerful, and accessible even to the non-scientist. In short, the pendulum provides everything a science teacher could ask for in an instructional experiment.

Why would natural selection not occur without genetic variations in species
Fudgin [204]
Natural selection only occurs when there is a superiority within a species set. If there is no genetic variation, no single animal is any better than the next, making the presence of superiority impossible and survival left up to chance. In this case it would be considered genetic continuity.
