Evolution

 

 

 

* Humanists agree that Darwin’s theory of

selection, or "the survival of the fittest

to have offspring" is the main process by

which plants and animals have evolved.

 

* The evidence is overwhelming that

evolution from the simplest living things

has produced millions of species of higher

plants and animals now on earth.

 

* Darwin’s theory is now combined with

modern knowledge of genetics and DNA

to make neoDarwinism. Humanists think

that the idea of evolution can be applied

to the development of human society and

its moral principles.
