  • The origin of life can be understood only against the background of origin of earth.

 

  • Most scientist believe in chemical evolution I.e. formation of biomolecules preceded the appearance of the first cellular forms of life.

 

  • The subsequent events as to what happened to the first form of life are a conjectured story based on Darwinian ideas of organic evolution by natural selection.

 

  • Diversity of life forms on earth has been changing over millions of years.

 

  • It is generally believed that variations in a population result in variable fitness. Other phenomena like habitat fragmentation and genetic drift may accentuate these variations leading o appearance of new species and hence evolution.

 

  • Homology is accounted for by the idea of branching descent. Study of comparative anatomy, fossils ad comparative biochemistry provides evidence for evolution
