About This Quote
The theory of evolution is true. This is one of the five basic beliefs that define the theory of evolution. It is also known as the “fact of evolution” or the “principle of common descent.” The theory of evolution can be summarized by these five beliefs: 1) All life on earth is related, descended from a common ancestor that lived billions of years ago. 2) New species arise when existing species diverge, adapt, and produce new types of living things. 3) Living things change over time to adapt to their environment. 4) The process by which these changes occur—reproduction, mutation, and natural selection—is known as evolution (adaptation). 5) Humans are descended from other primates, distantly related to chimpanzees and gorillas.
