His theory was later refined by scientist Charles Darwin. To prove his theory, Darwin created the principle of Natural Selection.]]> 2018-06-04 18:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265473857 The evolution of certain organisms gtnicholson https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265474049 One problem that could arise out of evolution is that viruses are evolving to be entirely resistant to current medicine and vaccines, which has the possibility to escalate into super-viruses. These “super viruses” could end up creating mass pandemics that could not be cured and could become lethal. A lethal, over-evolved virus could definitely take out a chunk of the human race.]]> 2018-06-04 19:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265474049 Who is affected? gtnicholson https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265474204 Viruses can affect all types or organisms, from humans, plants, and animals. Being honest, any virus that cannot be vaccinated would cause a lot of harm to the human race. Take the irish potato famine for example- a certain type of mold destroyed the roots of potatoes in ireland, which had been one of their main food sources. Nowadays, we have enough technology to prevent a famine like that happening again- but what if that mold also evolved? ]]> 2018-06-04 19:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265474204 Possible solutions gtnicholson https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265474295 -Do not use liberal amounts of antibodies/vaccines

-not using hand sanitizer that kills 99.9 percent of germs, the .1 percent that survives evolves

-continue science experiments to mutate viruses in labs to see what it can mutate into to get a head start on preparing countermeasures

They are all affected by the possibility of a super virus because it could affect any living thing, and if it can not be cured it affects them a lot.]]> 2018-06-05 13:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265629671 How are they affected? gtnicholson https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265630243 Any living organisms are affected because if a virus evolved into a lethal incurable virus, it would affect whoever it targeted by killing anything that it infected.]]> 2018-06-05 13:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gtnicholson/3esue80q0y61/wish/265630243
