Evolution


            
             The theory of evolution, as set forth by Charles Darwin in 1859, stated that all plant and animal life evolved .
             over long periods of time from simple to more complicated forms through mutation and adaptation. He .
             also taught that only the fittest of each species would survive. He further postulated that the first living cell .
             evolved in a "warm warm little pond" and that it took billions of years for the present diversity of living .
