    • Charles Darwin wrote "On the Origins of the Species" (1859) - suggesting theory of evolution explaining how species (including humans) developed
    • Believed creatures evolved overtime due to NATURAL SELECTION (chance) allowing 'Survival of the fittest'
    • Proposed natural selection repeated, new animal species emerging = evolution)
    • Humans evolved from animals
    • Richard Dawkins developed this theory. Argues individual genes adapt + evolve ("The Selfish Gene - 1976") AND organism's body = survival machine for genes
