Charles Darwin's Theory Of Natural Selection

Charles Darwin, was well-known for his contribution to the science of evolution. His theory of evolution states that all organisms of a particular species show differences in their behavioral, morphological or physiological traits. Darwin recognized there was a concern with the evolutionary significance of sex. This occurred during his natural selection theory. The theory of natural selection exhibits the process by which only a particular trait makes it easier for some persons to flourish and produce offspring, changing the genetic aspect of the population over a period of time. In simpler terms as stated “survival of the fittest”. On the other hand this barbaric, for instance; the peacock’s tail, this feature that enhances its beauty for

As stated the peacock’s tail was a major attraction to the peahens when it is spread. He further went on and stated that the male competes more mates than of the female, but he gave no reason why this was the case. It even cost them their lives at times. Finally Trivers (1972) explained why this was so, he then went on to explain why male courted and females choose their mates. This was so because female’s high level ‘parental investment’ by the females makes them limiting resource, therefore the males must compete. It is by far and large for a female to consider whom she wants to bring forth her offspring’s with, and I agree with it fully. In my opinion she is the one that contributes more in the investment of her offspring, therefore she have to be very selective of her

It was deemed that, the higher the status of the mate the greater his ability to control his resources. In several cultures around the globe, the term ‘high status’ is associated with intelligence, emotional stability and wealth, whereby these are all desirable traits (Furnham 2001). Surprisingly in my culture, most women are not interested in some of these traits. Men, who are different in solving the problem of selecting a mate. They detect high reproductive potential in women by favoring features that indicates youth or fertility. These features comprise of: clear eyes, lustrous hair, clear skin and full lips etc. These features designates that a woman is at her maximum reproductive potential. Although both gender values a particular feature in their mates, female’s level are high, due to adequate investment that are greater on their end. Therefore we see the evolutionary theory play a part whereby ‘survival of the fittest’ where the males compete, and the man with the resources that can provide will avail. This goes back to the animal world, for example the peacock and its tail, attracting the
