PASSAGE – I
The idea of evolution (which is a gradual change) was not a
new one. The Greeks had thought of it, so had Erasmus
Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin, and also the
Frenchman, Lamarck. It is one thing to have an idea; we can
all guess and sometimes make a lucky guess. It is quite
another thing tc produce a proof of the correctness of that
idea. Darwin thought he had that proofin his notebooks. He
saw that all animals had to struggle to survive. Those which
were best at surviving their environment passed on the good
qualities which helped them to their descendants. This was
called ‗the survival of the fittest‘. For example, in a cold
climate, those who have the warmest fur witl live. Darwin
believed that this necessity for an animal to deal with its
environment explained the immense variety of creatures.

✅(a) The strong will survive while the weak will perish
