Write your answers (phrases will do!) under the corresponding column. Keep your answers short. You may add figures or other relevant media. Provide attribution (or log in to your google account). Do not research, but just recall from your previous classes.

Everything (both living and nonliving matter)  that exists on earth can be ranked in a scale.  As such , the notion of higher beings and lower beings was created.  If i remember correctly , Angels and Gods were also included in this scale.  Essentially , this evolutionary thought allows other entities to evolve that makes it another unrelated entity entirely

Despite having no comprehensive explanation, Erasmus had also proposed that all living things had a common ancestor of which they had descended from--- an evolutionary thought Charles had further established decades after.

Based on on Platonic philosophy, Aristotle believed in abstract, unchanging, perfect versions of all objects and beings that exist beyond the world and that the versions in the physical plane are imperfect copies, resulting in their varying differences from each other, attributing evolution to imperfection. The Natural Scale ranks beings according to this concept of perfection descending to imperfection.]]> 2021-06-28 10:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emmanueldelocado/fzydhdj2io5yhena/wish/1628200913 https://padlet.com/emmanueldelocado/fzydhdj2io5yhena/wish/1629639278 The evolution of organisms is powered by their “inner needs/wants”. ]]> 2021-06-29 06:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emmanueldelocado/fzydhdj2io5yhena/wish/1629639278 rikacruz https://padlet.com/emmanueldelocado/fzydhdj2io5yhena/wish/1630268724 He basically is widely known for establishing the binomial nomenclature and also as the father of taxonomy. His system of naming basically contributed to how species are further identified based on their similarities. One controversial claim that he is also known for is his stance on organisms being immutable. ]]> 2021-06-29 15:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/emmanueldelocado/fzydhdj2io5yhena/wish/1630268724
