Evolution is the process of an organism changing so they are better suited for their environment. Charles Darwin first proposed the idea that evolution occurred through natural selection were nature allows the best trait to reproduce while the others died out.
Key Terms
natural selection - where organisms adapt to their environment
survival of the fittest - this is a way to describe natural selection
allopatric speciation - species that evolve in different places from each other usually from geographical causes
sympatric speciation - species that evolve in the same place but differently
reproductive isolation - when certain organisms in the same place physically can not reproduce
behavioral isolation - where different organisms only mate with certain rituals and signals
temporal isolation - organisms can not mate with each other because they mate at different times
geographic isolation - organisms are blocked from mating by a geographical features

Reflection
Some peaks in this project was that I was able to lead my group, made sure we were on task, and I learned a lot of valuable information from this project. I was able to lead my group by making sure that everyone had an equal part in the project. We were able to make sure we were on task by having mini deadlines to complete certain tasks.
Some pits of this project was that I needed to make sure that everyone in my group understands something before we move on and we needed to work better with each other. I needed to make sure that everyone in my group understood something before we move on because we would move on and then I would need to re-explain something and that took more time than if I made sure everyone understood the concept the first time. Even though we were productive we could have worked better with each other because most of the time we work independently and we did not work as a group.
