John Perry Natural Selection Analysis
Summary Paper #1: What is Natural Selection? The YouTube video is narrated by Jon Perry, an artist, and founder of Stated Clearly. Perry purports a deep appreciation of science, and a strong desire to create a bridge between the general public and the scientific community. Perry has created twelve informative, educational videos so far. In this video, Perry addresses the question for which the video shares the same name, “What is Natural Selection?”. Natural selection is one of three concepts, which help in the understanding of Charles Darwin's theory of Natural Selection. These three concepts are Descent with Modification, Common Descent, and Natural Selection. From time in memorial, humans have sought to better understand the natural world and the origin from where we come. Charles Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is the first theory to adequately explain the sequential journey of life, from the simplest of forms to the most complex

The differences between these plants and animals are such, that they provide a distinct advantage for them given their unique locations. This is thought to have likely occurred through natural selection, and from common descent. Darwin ruled out that such differences might be based on chance from random mutations, and concluded that much like selective breeding, the variation of species is due to an evolutionary process where by such plants and animals which had made these changes were more adapt at survival and procreation of the species. This has come to be known as, the process of Natural Selection. Decent with Modification as defined by Perry (2013) is an observable fact to which offspring, at times, can be seen with a difference in appearance, or behavior that the parent, due to some random genetic
