    One way to understand Evolution is to first understand “Artificial Selection”. Wolves and Dogs are descended from common ancestors (which looked more like modern wolfs than dogs). Over many generations, Humans selected the “favourable” traits (e.g., long shiny fur, or stocky legs etc) to produce the many different types / breeds of modern dogs that we have today. The keyword here is “over many generations”. There are modern dogs that, of course, are still very much wolve-like in appearance (e.g., Huskies, German Shepherd etc). Some dog breeds are much less wolf-like in appearance (Chihuahua, Shih Tzu etc) as they have been artificially selected for their small size and “cute” traits. So why is it known as artificial selection? This is because the Human (the dog breeders) are the ones determining which individual dogs they would prefer to produce offsprings, thereby continuing the genes they would like to retain. Prior to this, it is also important to understand the idea of Variation. This means that in a litter of puppies, not every puppy is physically identical (even though they may look identical to the untrained eyes). Some puppies have slightly longer legs, some shorter legs. Very small differences, but, yes, the differences are there. It is due to this physical variations that the breeders (humans) select which dogs possess the traits he wants, thus the term “Artificial Selection”. This Selection process is repeated over many generations and the result is the modern dog breeds we have today. Once we understood Artificial Selection, it will be easy to understand Natural Selection. In Natural Selection, the environment aka Mother Nature (instead of Human) is the factor deciding which traits survive through the generations. How? One example is Food Source. Many species of birds have developed the ability to swim to obtain their food (Adaptability). One pre-requisite of aquatic birds is having water-proof feathers. In this case, this is the “Favourable Trait”. One group of birds may live nearer to the seasides and Individual birds with better waterproof feathers is seen by Mother Nature as a “favourable trait”. And so individual birds with this trait has a much higher chance of survival and passing on this gene to the next generations. Birds with “less waterproof” feathers may probably not even live to adulthood as they had difficulties obtaining their food (in the sea), resulting in their genes being eliminated from this group of birds. Using an analogy, you may think of this process as a kind of filtration process, where only the finest particles is able to pass through the fine filter. This is Adaptation, and it has to be highlighted that Adaptation takes place over many, many, many generations. Physical Adaptations (e.g., change in body shapes) DO NOT take place in just one generation. In other words, an individual animal will not change its form physically to obtain that trait in its lifetime, unless it’s metamorphosis which is a totally different thing. We also observed this in rabbits living in deserts and rabbits living in cold countries. The long ears in rabbits act as effective heat radiators. This enables the rabbits to lose body heat efficiently, just as how humans lose heat efficiently by sweating. The rabbits living in deserts adapted (over many generations) to the environment by developing very long and erect ears for highly efficient lowering of their body temperature. But rabbits living in cold countries tends to have shorter ears (some even have lop ears). Shorter ears is the “favourable trait” here as it enables them to lose less body heat. All animals (and yes, that includes Humans) are still in the midst of Evolution. If Evolution is constantly ongoing, why can’t we see it happening? We need to understand that Evolution is a very, very slow on-going process. Evolution will never be “complete”, as change is the only constant. If Evolution is true, why are there no animals that are “neither here nor there” (i.e., in-between two species)? We need to remember humans are the ones who gave distinct names to different distinct species of animals in the first place. Let us look at the Seals / Walruses. Their ancestors are land animals, but their body shapes (flippers and hydrodynamic bodies) are hard evidence that they are in the midst of “transition” from land animals to aquatic animals, as their main source of food is in the sea. Of course, we cannot see an appreciable change in their appearances in our lifetime, as the change is happening far too slowly over many generations. So presently, we can only imagine the current physical appearances of Seals / Walruses as being “frozen-in-time”, as with the rest of the millions of species of animals currently living on this planet Earth. And do appreciate their beauty in their current physical form (and the diversity of the Tree of Life), as they will never be the same again one million years from now.

    The explanation in the first minute almost exactly explains why humans evolved in Africa to have dark brown/black skin and why less pigmented humans went else where. The less pigmented humans where harassed and eaten by birds because they were more visible to the birds, and the darker humans where not as easily seen.

    +0xJamica0x It's not so much natural selection that is the problem with creationists, it is more so mutations, as natural selection does not create any variation in the DNA, but only selects based on what is available. Mutations on the other hand, are what cause the variation from species to species (for the most part).

    This blog is very informative and useful especially to those people who are engaged in Agricultural Industry. Being able to give the advantages and disadvantages of the said topic is good. With that, readers can think wisely whether to engage to Artificial Selection or not. Also, clipping many pictures makes it appealing to read and easy to understand. In the end, I learned that Artificial Selection is important in terms that people will benefit from it through lots of agricultural produce but should be wise enough because it can affects the economy, environment and God’s plan of creation.

    Natural selection is one of the mechanisms of evolution. It describes how advantageous mutations ("differences") provide better chances of resource allocation ("survival") and therefore allow for more opportunities for reproduction. Evolution is not only supported by literally mountains of evidence, it is also not refuted by any evidence, and by our current understanding (which is considerable), it is inevitable in all type of conceivable life (that reproduces and competes for resources).

    For people who don't get it here is the difference between macro and micro evolution. Macro Evolution allows for slight variation that will help shape a distinct feature in the future but is not easily noticable yet. The only difference between the two is time. Longer periods of time causes an accumulation of these changes wich causes the earlier mentioned distinct features this is called micro evolution. Given enough time there is even species creation, because of a significant change in DNA.

    ***** This is BS. High School Biology classes spend ONE week on ONE chapter on evolution, then moves on. I had to go outside of school to research it in further depth, as our childhoods are spent indoctrinated into our parents religion, and we're effectively sheltered from the facts and truths that science sheds light on. You should lay blame on indoctrination where blame is due, within the archaic, science-denying lies of religious myth that had people believing the earth was flat and Antarctica penguins tottled all the way from their frigid habitats to the desert climate of Noah. You're fucking insane.

    +Why not realisitc Zoidberg? That's not strictly true. The distinction is strange, but in most cases macro-evolution is just speciation. It requires more than time in most cases. If two populations interbreed then they're the same species and will remain the same species because this interbreeding prevents them from diversifying on their own. For "macro-evolution" two populations must become separated, either by time (as you said) or by space, the latter being far easier to observe. Once separated the two populations can diversify independently and eventually be unable to interbreed once reintroduced but it's not possible to do *unless* you have that initial separation.
