FGCU Academy - Beyond Darwin: Evolution, Ecosystem and Extinction

Beyond Darwin: Evolution, Ecosystem and Extinction 

Charles Darwin caused an upheaval in the scientific community when he replaced "specific creation," in which God created each species exactly as we find it, with evolution through natural selection. We have come a long way toward understanding how ecosystems function. We have also learned, to our discredit, how ecosystems can be destroyed. Our planet earth, in its 4.5 billion years existence, has witnessed five major extinctions in which virtually all life was destroyed. Biologists have described the current state of affairs, with humans responsible for the destruction of species, as a sixth extinction. Speaker: Dr. Arthur Wenk
