Summary:
The world is full of a surprisingly diverse array of creatures. Where did this complexity of life come from? For thousands of years, many people have believed that life has a creator responsible for making and controlling the diversification of life. However, Charles Darwin provided a counterargument to this belief with his idea of "natural selection." According to Darwin, biological species have evolved through the process of natural selection without a human designer or a creator.
