I was so impressed with this page http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/misconceptions_faq.php#a1
that I thought it was worth listing a few here: *MISCONCEPTION: Natural selection involves organisms trying to adapt.* *MISCONCEPTION: Natural selection acts for the good of the species.* *MISCONCEPTION: The fittest organisms in a population are those that are strongest, healthiest, fastest, and/or largest.* *MISCONCEPTION: Natural selection is about survival of the very fittest individuals in a population.* *MISCONCEPTION: All traits of organisms are adaptations.* *MISCONCEPTION: Evolutionary theory implies that life evolved (and continues to evolve) randomly, or by chance. **MISCONCEPTION: Evolution results in progress; organisms are always getting better through evolution.* ** * * * * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
