- State 5 facts and 3 inferences Darwin used to construct the theory of Natural Selection.

Finally, it may not be a logical deduction, but to my imagination it is far more satisfactory to look at such instincts as the young cuckoo ejecting its foster-brothers,-ants making slaves, -the larvae of Ichneumonidae feeding within the live bodies of caterpillars,-not as specially endowed or created instincts, but as small consequences of one general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.arrow_forwardDarwin realized that variation among ___________ was how selection occurred, ultimately causing change in species.
