Relative to a human lifetime, is evolution a process too slow or too fast for us to see it easily?

Origins of Modern Humans Current data suggest that modern humans evolved from archaic humans primarily in East Africa. A 195,000 year old fossil from the Omo 1 site in Ethiopia shows the beginnings of the skull changes that we associate with modern people, including a rounded skull case and possibly a projecting chin. A 160,000 year old skull from the Herto site in the Middle Awash area of Ethiopia also seems to be at the early stages of this transition. It had the rounded skull case but retained the large brow ridges of archaic humans. Somewhat more advanced transitional forms have been found at Laetoli in Tanzania dating to about 120,000 years ago. By 115,000 years ago, early modern humans had expanded their range to South Africa and into Southwest Asia (Israel) shortly after 100,000 years ago. There is no reliable evidence of modern humans elsewhere in the Old World until 60,000-40,000 years ago, during a short temperate period in the midst of the last ice age.

Intelligent design is the theory that life is too complex to have evolved randomly. The eye is often cited as an example, arguing that its complexity argues for the presence of a creator guiding its development. What use is half an eye or a partial wing? It is a popular idea because it does not deny the observable fact of evolution, while leaving room for the presence of God. Is intelligent design a viable scientific theory? Why or why not?

Which mechanism of evolutionary change corresponds to each of the following descriptions? Evoluntionary change: option (Match the following with the list) - Natural selection - Mutation - Genetic drift - Gene flow  --------------------------------------------------------------------------- • This mechanism is always adaptive. • This mechanism is the main source of new alleles in a species. • This mechanism occurs when individuals of the same species immigrate from one population to another. • This mechanism is non-adaptive and its effects are strongest in a small population.
