What do you think now about Darwin's Origin of Species? Does he provide any evidence of organisms changing from one kind to another? Or does he simply give evidence of variation within a kind of organisms? Does he suggest any mechanism for new characteristics other than new combinations of the already present gene pool? Would those new combinations be capable of producing new kinds of organisms or just new varieties of the same kinds? Do you have a better idea about how Darwin's theory was initially received and later received?  What do you think about his theory? It was the goal of this webquest to help you to answer these questions.
