# Theory of Evolution - Knowledge Triples

## Core Concepts
- (Charles Darwin, proposed, theory of natural selection)
- (Alfred Russel Wallace, co-discovered, natural selection)
- (Darwin, published, "On the Origin of Species")
- ("On the Origin of Species", was published in, 1859)

## Mechanisms
- (natural selection, is, mechanism of evolution)
- (natural selection, acts on, heritable variation)
- (genetic mutation, creates, genetic variation)
- (genetic drift, causes, random allele frequency changes)
- (gene flow, transfers, alleles between populations)
- (sexual selection, favors, reproductive advantages)

## Key Principles
- (organisms, produce, more offspring than survive)
- (individuals, vary in, heritable traits)
- (favorable traits, increase, survival probability)
- (favorable traits, increase, reproductive success)
- (populations, change, over generations)
- (species, share, common ancestors)

## Evidence
- (fossil record, documents, evolutionary change)
- (homologous structures, indicate, common ancestry)
- (DNA sequences, reveal, evolutionary relationships)
- (biogeography, supports, evolution)
- (vestigial structures, suggest, ancestral traits)

## Related Concepts
- (speciation, creates, new species)
- (adaptation, results from, natural selection)
- (fitness, measures, reproductive success)
- (phylogenetics, studies, evolutionary relationships)
