Species variation has three parts to it, one being species change over time. Charles Darwin discovered this idea while on his voyage. While looking at fossils and old skeletons from past animals Darwin noticed similarities between bone structure now and the bone structure from the fossil. Some of his findings include that many animals today did come from a common ancestor. Darwin found that the bone structure in both the human arm, and the fin of a whale are the same or very similar, so he concluded that they came from a common ancestor. We also have found fossils of animals very similar to the ones we …show more content…

An example of natural selection in the real world would be the pollution of a lake causing it to become darker then slowly over time as the fish reproduce there would be no light fish, all fish would be dark. Natural selection is basically survival of the fittest. Natural selection has allowed a variation of species to thrive in different
