Evolution Spring 2021

I explain evolution as the changing of a species on a micro or macro level. This can include distinct changes within a species or very, very tiny changes within a species. I believe all of the changes a species or population undergoes accounts as evolution. We as humans would not be so far ahead of every other species if it were not for evolution. We are able to critically and logically think, along with problem solve and many other higher-level thinking processes. These are due to evolution within our species. I do believe evolution is a fact. The changes we can see are in plain sight, although throughout time, the idea of evolution could become irrelevant. At this time, I do believe evolution to be factual and apparent in our daily lives. 

Hello!  I am Allie Peters and I am from Little River, KS. I am very passionate about service to others and I currently work in a hospital. I will be attending medical school in the fall and I am so excited! It fascinates me how much or how little a species can change over time. It completely astounds me that some species change immensely, while others barely change. I think evolution relates to my daily life because we as humans are adapting and evolving every day in different ways, along with things/animals/living thing we interact with daily are evolving as well. I hope to obtain a better understanding of micro and macro evolution and I hope that I get to interact with the professor, TAs, and students closely.
