    2. Common descent: organisms are descended from one, or several common ancestors and have diversified from this original stock.

    3. Species multiply: the diversification of life involves populations of one species diverging until they become two separate species; this has probably occurred billions of times on earth!

    4. Gradualism: evolutionary change occurs through incremental small changes within populations; new species are not created suddenly.

    5. Natural selection: evolutionary change occurs through variation between individuals; some variants give the individual an extra survival probability.

    * On November 24, 1859, Darwin published his best-known work, 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection' which has detailed explanation of his theories.
