Include the following points in your paper:
· An explanation of Darwin’s assumptions and inferences based on his major observations.
· An example of how natural selection may have worked in a population (for example, moth in New England, drug-resistant bacteria, giraffes, finches in the Galapagos Islands, or another species you select)
· An explanation of how adaptations help species survive such as mimicry and camouflage. Give examples of several adaptations and explain how they enhance survival of the species.
· What evidence is there to support Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection? Describe the evidence.
