Theory of Evolution

The transformational theory of life proposes over time in the heritable characteristics, or traits, of a population of organisms changes. Heritable traits are encoded by the genetic material of an organism. Transformation generally results from three processes: random mutation to genetic material, random genetic drift, and non-random natural selection within populations and species.

This theory was first developed and proposed in 1661 by Samuel Pepys, an amateur scientist and thinker. The theory was rudimentary at this point, obviously, as the concept of genetics was unknown. He presented this theory to the Royal Society on May 28, 1661.

Most people agree that had the New World been populated by human beings rather than sims, the theory would not have been developed until much later, if ever.
