a. What was the article all about?

The article are all about Charles Darwin, Evolution, Natural selection, Naturalism,
Paradigm shift.

b. What concepts from the article will you never forget?

The concept in the article that I will never forget is the natural selection. Darwin's
specific view denotes that evolution is driven mainly by natural selection.

c. What realization did you have after reading the article?

My realization after reading the article is that there is a variation in nature, many more
offspring are generated than can survive. Therefore there is a struggle for life in which
favorable variation are presented and unfavorable variation are removed.
Before reading the article I thought evolution by natural selection is the differential
survival and reproduction of individuals due to difference in phenotype. It is a key
mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a
population over generation.
However after reading I can now say that I learned about the article of charles darwin
paradigm shift is in evolution by natural selection more individual are produced each
generation that can survive. Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the
variation is heritable.Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the
invironment will survive.

c. What three things are still unclear to you after reading the article?
The two things that still unclear to me after reading the article are the branching
descent and the liberalizing factor which darwin did not attempt to explain, present in
all form of life.
