Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- Deep in Plato's cave, the philosophers of evolutionary past sit and ponder. All working towards one goal, the truth behind how species come to be.
- The way I see it, God specifically made all the creatures we see today. He made them and placed them where they were needed, end of story.
- I have to agree with William here. Species do not change over time, that's ridiculous.
- No, both of you are idiots. Life simply spontaneously generates but not because of God.
- Be sure not to get your idiocy on everyone else Linnaeus.
- All THREE of you are wrong. Species didn't come from God and species are not incapable of change.
- They change because of the environment. It's a natural process, nothing supernatural about it.
- I think that we all got here through a cycle of huge catastrophic events and that is also how extinction works.
- I think you're right Lamarck. From my studies I have found that competition for resources causes change within organisms. I've been working on a theory based on this idea. I call it "natural selection."
- NOBODY ASKED YOU CUVIER!!
- Um, Mr. Darwin? I wanted to discuss that theory you mentioned. Natural selection, was that what you called it?
- My research has brought me brought me to the same conclusion as yours. Species can change and it is all based on their environment. Those who have the most advantageous traits will survive, its the only clear answer.
- Why haven't you brought this to Plato yet? It could get us out of this dreadful cave. We could go together, I will gladly back you up!
- Let's do it!
- You're Wallace ,right? Well, if I am being honest I have always been too afraid to present my thoughts. They are so different from those around us. But if you can present the idea with me, I can find the courage to finally get out of this cave and step into the light of knowledge.
- And so, Darwin and Wallace presented their ideas to Plato and escaped from the cave. They had done it! They had solved a massive piece in the puzzle of human evolution. Their revolutionary thoughts and ideas would become the core of evolutionary theories for decades to come.
