He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and, in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding]]> 2018-03-13 18:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241564705 306141 https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241564753 James Hutton was a Scottish geologist, physician, chemical manufacturer, naturalist, and experimental agriculturalist.He originated the theory of uniformitarianism a fundamental principle of geology that explains the features of the Earth's crust by means of natural processes over geologic time. Hutton's work established geology as a science, and as a result he is referred to as the "Father of Modern Geology".]]> 2018-03-13 18:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241564753 306141 https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241564842 Titus Lucretius Carus (was a Roman poet and philosopher. His only known work is the philosophical poem De rerum natura, a didactic work about the tenets and philosophy of Epicureanism, and which is usually translated into English as On the Nature of Things. Lucretius has been credited with originating the concept of the three-age system which was formalised from 1834 by C. J.

He is best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection; his paper on the subject was jointly published with some of Charles Darwin's writings in 1858. This prompted Darwin to publish his own ideas in On the Origin of Species.]]> 2018-03-13 18:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565046 306141 https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565151 James Dewey Watson is an American molecular biologist, geneticist and zoologist, best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA in 1953 with Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin. Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".]]> 2018-03-13 18:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565151 306141 https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565219 Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist.
During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, but today he is most remembered as the originator of the theory of continental drift by hypothesizing in 1912 that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth]]> 2018-03-13 18:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565219 306141 https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565298 Stanley Lloyd Miller was an American chemist who made landmark experiments in the origin of life by demonstrating that a wide range of vital organic compounds can be synthesized by fairly simple chemical processes from inorganic substances.]]> 2018-03-13 18:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/306141/iznahykru9w9/wish/241565298
