| Short description: | Evolution - general biological science. Its task is to know the legality and regularity of the historical development of the organic world in the geological history of the earth. Evolution has hypotheses, ideas and real facts, will allow to know the factors and mechanisms of advanced changes in nature. The theory of evolution proposes complex woobrazeń, admissibility and methods celuprognozowanie events and phenomena in the environment abiotic and biotic. |
