Numerous studies have been conducted on the origin of the evolution of human beings and how they have developed over the years. Some people believe in the theory of evolution and some believe in the theory developed in religion. The researcher is interested in this topic because this is the theory of how man has evolved over time. This theory marks the point from which humans started to this day and the phenomenon continues to this day. Another reason is because there are so many different facts and evidence found over the years to prove that humans have evolved over the years into the people they are today. Charles Darwin is not the founder of evolution, but with the help of history and these scientists, Thomas Henry Huxley, Alfred Wallace and John Gould, he was able to develop the theory of evolution. These scientists contributed greatly to Charles' research and helped him come to the conclusion about where humans evolved.II. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Charles Darwin's theory of evolution required years and years of research. Over the course of these years he found several people who were also interested in this phenomenon and had them join him in the study. Before Charles conducted his research he looked back in time at other scientists who wrote about this theory. Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, believed that there were natural laws about how the world was formed. “He believed that there were “higher” species and also “lower” species, and that the lower ones gave rise to the higher ones” (Rosenberger 3). He believed against the usual myths about the birth of the universe and had ideas similar to those of Darwin. In 1831, Captain Robert Fitz-Roy asked Charles to sail on HMS Beagle, which sailed around the world. “Charles had to record information about geology,...... center of paper... evolutionary change was not just a myth; it was possible. This study opened the door to studying other species to see if they have evolved over time and how much they have evolved. This helped Darwin see evolution by comparing living animal species. Darwin also used his children as research in his theory of evolution. He studied his children to see how nature gave way to nurture (Rosenberger v2-3). He had ten children, so he was able to study them all and compare the results obtained. Through this study he learned that some human behaviors were adaptive and other human behaviors were learned and shared by the culture. In 1851 he lost one of his daughters and was able to observe that some people are able to cope and others are not. This opened the door to many other features that formed the heart of the principle of natural selection.
