Many people attended Darwin's funeral in 1882. Darwin’s ideas and research have been used by other scientists to further develop our understanding of how evolution takes place. Slide 1 of 3, A ...
Jun 3, 2022 · Development is a central biological process, and ideas about its nature have been influential in biological thought. This entry surveys the history of these ideas through the lens of “epigenesis vs. preformation”. Epigenesis is, roughly, the thesis that every developing entity starts from material that is unformed, with form emerging ...

Weismann and Wilhelm Roux proposed that the increasing heterogeneity of differentiating somatic tissues is caused by the progressive subdivision of heritable material (e.g. skeletal ...
Jun 8, 2012 · Julian Huxley, one of the founders of the modern synthesis of evolution, appreciated the importance for evolution of the study of genes in development—“a study of genes during development is as essential for an understanding of evolution as are the study of mutation and selection” (Huxley 1942, p. 8)—but even Huxley neglected to incorporate development into evolutionary theory.

Anatomy and Embryology. Another type of evidence for evolution is the presence of structures in organisms that share the same basic form. For example, the bones in the appendages of a human, dog, bird, and whale all share the same overall construction (Figure 21.1.2 21.1. 2) resulting from their origin in the appendages of a common ancestor.
