Theory of Natural Selection
Individuals within a population exhibit heritable variations. Organisms live longer than the environment can support, leading to competition. Some inherited variations give individuals survival advantages.
The Synthetic Theory (Neo-Darwinism)
This theory builds upon Darwinian ideas, incorporating new findings. Its core principles include:
- The evolving unit is the population.
- Environmental conditions favor the reproduction of well-adapted individuals.
- Evolution is driven by
Spanish Civil War: Key Campaigns and Aftermath
The Evolution of the Fronts: Campaigns Around Madrid
On the Nationalist side, Franco was chosen as chief military commander at a meeting in Salamanca (21 September 1936), and given the title GeneralĂsimo.

Vertical Integration
Vertical Integration is when a company gets involved in more parts of the production process. It either becomes its own supplier or its own distributor/customer.
Types of Vertical Integration:

- Forward (downstream) integration: This happens when a company starts controlling the distribution or selling
Evolutionary Agents, Adaptation, and Biodiversity
Evolutionary Agents
Evolutionary agents cause changes in gene frequencies within a population. These agents include:
- Mutations: Changes in genetic information that introduce new alleles, leading to variability within the population. Mutations occur randomly, and the environment determines whether a mutation is neutral, harmful, or beneficial.
- Genetic Drift: Random changes in allele frequencies from one generation to the next, particularly significant in small populations.
- Gene Flow: The transfer of
