Individuals from the same species can have variations
One cause of this is a mutation in the DNA, this creates new characteristics
2 of 6
Living things show genetic variation so they are not all the same
Living organisms must compete for limited resources so it's the survival of the fittest
3 of 6
Life on Earth began around 3500 million years ago
The first organism was very simple but as time went on it became more complex
4 of 6
Evolution can produce new species
Some species can interbreed creating a new line of DNA
5 of 6
Evidence for Evolution include:
1) Fossil records show changes between two of the same species (More complex over time)
