process of change over periods of time, which shapes and establishes the

formation of modern man.

In referring to evolution, the word means various changes. Evolution refers to

the fabrication and development of life on earth. "Organic evolution"

is the concept that all living beings evolved from simple organisms and have

changed throughout the periods of time to create many and various types of

species. Organic evolution is better known as the "theory of

evolution." There are three main theories of evolution, which are, the

early theories proposed by Comte de Buffon, Baron Cuvier, and Lamarck, the

synthetic theory, and the Darwin theory.

In the 1700s, French naturalists, Comte de Buffon and Baron Cuvier concluded

with the studies of fossils and comparative anatomy that life on earth had

endured many changes through a long period of time. In the early 1800s, another

French naturalist named Lamark, proposed the first complete theory of

evolution. He observed through is observations, depending on the extent to which

during its life span. He also noted that organs and muscles, which were used

often, tended to become larger and stronger. On the contrary, the organs and

muscles, which were used seldom, tended to become smaller and diminish. With

these observations, Lamarck concluded that these characteristics were

hereditary.

Proposed during two decades, the 1930s and 1940s, the synthetic theory involved

biologists, Russian Theodosius and German Ernst Mayr, and the British
