Answer:
Identify early ideas about evolution
There are two ideas about evolution.
1.) Religious
2.) Scientific
In religion, people believe that we were created through god.
In the scientific one, people believe that we were created from apes and that throughout the time we became humans.
Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of paleontology with the concept of extinction further undermined static views of nature. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution.
In classical Latin, though, evolution had first denoted the unrolling of a scroll, and by the early 17th century, the English word evolution was often applied to 'the process of unrolling, opening out, or revealing'. It is this aspect of its application that may have been behind Darwin's reluctance to use the term.
Discuss theories that influenced scientific debate over evolution
Scientists believe that we (humans) evolved from apes.
Catastrophism
Catastrophism is a theory about the earth's history that says major changes in the earth's crust result from catastrophes rather than from slow, gradual processes.
Gradualism
Gradualism is a theory about the earth's history that says slow but continual processes can result in large, dramatic changes.
Uniformitarianism
A theory, built upon gradualism, proposing that the rates of geological processes that form the Earth are uniform, or constant, throughout history.
Recognize the pattern of features that reveal the history of a species
The features on the fossils were similar to other fossils that were differently apart species.
