the Time Traveller develops some theories about the creatures he meets when he travels to the future. In the future the Traveller meets the Eloi and the Morlocks. The time traveler describes the Eloi in the following ways throughout the book; Very beautiful and graceful, fragile things, Pretty little people, and having a Dresden China type of prettiness. He describes the Morlocks as a human spider, new vermin, human rats and nauseatingly inhuman.
The first theory he makes about these creatures is that they are the sole descendants of humanity. He thinks or assumes that human progress continued to make life easier for humans, therefore they became stupid and lazy. He implies that this fate is actually the result of communism, since there would be no competition that it drove the human race to laziness. Darwin’s theory

He comes up with this theory when he discovers that the Morlocks hunt and frighten the Eloi. He thinks that his second theory was true at the time but this is where he thinks of it as the revenge of the working class. This theory sounds more like the communism points he makes in the book, but Darwin’s theory of humans continuing to evolve holds true because the Morlocks had to evolve into savage beasts or they would starve.
Darwin’s theory holds mostly true in the three theories of the Time Traveller. The Eloi have been devolving for quite some time into lazy, stupid creatures. The Morlocks have been evolving for this time in order to survive. Darwin’s other theory that states, In nature, organisms are limited in their ability to survive, based on how their surrounding climate changes, is also true with these theories of the Time Traveller because the Morlocks and the Eloi changed with their surroundings or their climate. If they were at one time humans like us then they changed when the earth changed in order to
The Time Machine is a fictional story about a time Traveler’s journey into the far future and the trouble he faces to get back to the present time. On his journeys, he have to face the descendants of the mankind which are the Morlocks and Eloi. In the beginning of the story the Time Traveller thought the Eloi were the Morlocks slave master or a leader. Later in the story the time Traveler find out that the Morlocks lean to the Eloi and they obey the Morlocks obey the Eloi.
Some reasons why beaks were thought to be so useful for testing Darwin’s theory of natural selection was because it seemed that the more favorable variations in their beaks will be passed down. Another reason was because there were more variations in the beaks depending what the finches ate so he could study a variety of beaks.
The portrayal of Christ has been developed throughout the centuries, and is very much influenced by the socio-political and cultural environments. The Byzantine Empire has become a great influence on the use of Christian religious art and architecture, which will be continually built upon and developed through history. Though still influenced by the Classical tradition, Christian art will evolve into a new and widespread style under the rule of Justinian and Theodora. Christ as the Good Shepherd in the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, shows the development of the portrayal of Christ from a humble shepherd to a royal deity, that reflects the influence of the Byzantine Empire, and his role as a ruler over his people.
The time Traveller's think that Eloi are the sole descendants of humanity. This relates to Darwin's theory that most individuals produced in a given population than can possibly survive in that environment, thereby setting up a struggle for survival. This goes to show the similarities of these theories that these two different species of Eloi and humans have the same or similar characteristics as on another based of surviving in an environment.
We shall begin on the first point of Darwin's book, that evolution of humanity will remain constantly changing, the Eloi and Morlock are the prime examples and subject of theory to the time traveler. The Morlock, symbolize the lower class, or the toilers, who have still retained their working prowess, but have become dark creatures who inhabit the underworld, as he calls it. All the Morlock are grotesque in nature, they are mechanically intelligent, and survive on primal instinct, and as previously being the minority under the rich class, they now control the descendants of the upperclass by feeding off them like livestock. This changes how the
The biological perspective also can be called Biopsychological Perspective, is a large scientific perspective that undertake that human behaviour and thought processes have a biological fundamental points. Investigations with biological perspective into biochemistry of behaviour link with genetics and heritability, neurotransmitters and hormones, and the psychophysics of sensation and perception. Parts of biological perspective may include; Physiological psychology, neuroscience, pyschoneuroimunology and psychopharmacology. The biological perspective relies on scientific methods because of this, its scope of information is limited to variable that can be manipulated.
Darwin theory, he first started talking about an organism, his theory was that in a population shows a difference in traits. The following theory was survival of the fittest, it is when one appears to look like their parents and they are comfortable in their environment, and has the possible to live longer and might reproduce being relaxed in their environment. Beneficial Traits is to increase in frequency over time in a population since individuals with traits are more likely to produce and will pass on the gene to the next generation. It is not important to be a perfect specimen, but important to produce more babies. In addition, Darwin theory was based on the
In the essay The Descent Of Man by Charles Darwin excerpted from his book The Origin Of Species (1871), he tries to describe evolution through the natural selection of accumulated favorable variations in an organism that in time form new species within which the fact that man is descended from a lower-organized life form is prescribed to, by giving evidence of similarities of the characters of man which determine embryonic development, bodily structure, sexual selection, cerebral system with those of lower-life forms and in which he evidently succeeds and it is evident that man is not a separate art of creation and is descended of a common progenitor like all other mammals and though questions can be raised against his theory in terms of
Darwin wanted to further his studies in plant and animal life, and he also became interested in the similarities of plant and animal species to those of the human species. He noticed that humans too also had to develop new characteristics that would help them adapt to their environments. This made him want to look further into where humans came from and also question the idea of creationism. He argued that men are animals because they have to adapt to their surroundings just as animals do. He suggested that the stronger animals have a better survival chance and they produce offspring that carry this trait. A whole new population of species can derive from these offspring and traits that have evolved from older generations and species. This became known as Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
Charles Darwin created the theory of Darwinism, also known as, survival of the fittest. As an example of Darwinism, there are 10 white moths and 10 black moths in a forest. This said forest is full of white oak trees. The white moths are more adapted to their surroundings because of the colors; they can blend in. This helps them hide from predators like birds, and continue natural reproduction to keep the white moth population stable. All the while, the black moths will have a harder time hiding while looking for food or living in general. Predators will easily find the black moths, stopping them from reproducing. The ratio of black to white moth population, is much in favor of the white moths.
In the beginning, the Time Traveler ventures into the future and sees two different races of people: the Eloi and the Morlocks. From then, he theorizes that those two races evolved from one single race: humans. This reflects Darwin's idea that humans will continually evolve because it can be seen when the Time Traveler goes to the distant the future, he sees an evolved form of humans. Though the evolved form of humans may be drastically different and may have split into two different races, one can
The idea of Darwin’s theory is that more and more people will be born from the phenotypic gene that will survive. The child that is born with the inheritable traits are more than likely to survive opposed to a child that is not born with the traits. These traits are ones that are suitable and compatible with the environment. Darwin;s theory is believed to now be the main process of
Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is a theory that is and has been widely accepted for many years. The reason for this widespread acceptance is the many strengths that Darwin’s theory has. However, even though this is true, Darwin's theory has a few weaknesses. Darwin, although close, did not paint a full realistic picture of evolution with his theory.
His theory states that modifications are made by what the organism’s needs or wants and body parts that are not being used will eventually vanish, ultimately organisms will not obtain these unusable parts. Furthermore, he assumed evolution occurs following a prearranged plot, meaning the changes are arranged beforehand(Necsi.edu, 2011).
