Even though this is artificial selection‚ this supports Darwin’s Theory of Evolution because the pigeons changed after some of the breeding and that is evolution

Bats and The Feathers both by Linda Hogan. The three similarities I chose to compare are they are based around animals‚ family and sacred beliefs. Both “The Bats” and “The Feathers” are based around the love Hogan has for the animals.
