"What evolution is. The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution"
One of the most significant ideas in evolutionary theory is the Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution. First proposed by Japanese biologist Motoo Kimura in the 1960s, this theory suggests that most genetic mutations are neither advantageous nor harmful to an organism. Instead, they are "neutral," meaning they have no significant impact on the organism's survival or reproductive success.
"What evolution is. The Modern Evolutionary Synthesis"
When you think about the theory of evolution, one name pops up in your mind: Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin (1809-1882), also known as the founder of evolutionary theory, since he was the first one to propose the idea that species evolve over time through a process called natural selection.
