Darwin's theory consisted of two main points; 1) diverse groups of animals evolve from one or a few common ancestors; 2) the mechanism by which this evolution takes place is natural selection. This SparkNote will first take a look at Origin of the Species, and then more closely examine Darwin's theories.
Natural selection is a nature-made selection, and artificial selection is a man-made selection. Artificial selection is the process by which humans select certain naturally occurring variations to use in breeding new plants and animals. Darwin thought that a similar process in nature could explain how organisms change over time.
Bee colonies are currently weaker than ever, making bees unable to carry pollin. The carrying capacity of the bees are <em>decreasing</em> because the population of bees are also decreasing.
