How did the discovery of DNA prove that Darwin’s theory of evolution was correct and how does it change the way we view evolution today and into the future?

Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection:  that all living things on earth shared a common ancestor. This theory was thought of as bizarre at first, but with later research seen to be true. After studying the DNA of apes, it was seen that human beings and apes were carrying many of the same traits. “Common traits” were seen through many other species as well.

 

Now and Then

Reflection: 

  • Many things are the same, just now in the 2010’s, we have more developed and evolved more.
  • People now a days are more health conscious now a days.
  • A privilege I have today that my aunt did not back in the 80’s is that I am able to have parents who give me freedom of speech and I have parents who understand adolescence more. Back in the day I feel like parents were seen as “elders” and teens weren’t able to have arguments and debates with their parents. Now I feel like parents and their children are closer.
  • I don’t think adolescence in the 80’s have any privileges or rights that adolescence today don’t have. I think this is because people are smarter with how they raise their children and teens push their parents boundaries more and end up getting away withmore.
  • I would 100% rather have grown up in the 50’s 60’s 70’s or 80’s. I feel like it was a more simpler time. I don’t like how technology rules the world now a days and how people interact together. I would love it if we could have a combination of both the 80’s and 2010’s. Some aspects of the 2010’s are great! I love how health conscious we have become and how we are more aware of our surrounding and how we must take care of the planet we live on.
