ADAPTATION, ENVIRONMENT, NICHE
Successful organisms are well adapted to their environment. Any environment is a complex, interactive matrix that can change suddenly. This helps us understand the high level of biodiversity in our world.
Think of the wolf and the coyote. The wolf is native to Ontario, but the coyote is a newcomer. Coyotes are moving eastward from western environments, and coexist with wolves in many areas.
Thinking about wolves and coyotes:
How is the wolf well adapted to Ontario’s wilderness, but not urban areas?
How is the coyote well adapted to Ontario’s urban and suburban areas?
How is the urban/suburban environment different from wilderness?

In contrast, James Hutton, a Scottish geologist proposed that geological change was the result of uniform change over long periods of time. Charles Lyell popularized this point of view in a book called Principles of Geology. Uniformitarianism proposes that the processes of change today are similar to those of the past.
How do organisms change over time?

In contrast to Lamarck, Darwin explained long necks differently. The original population had giraffes with necks of various sizes. If the food sources were high, those with longer necks could reach it, survive and reproduce. Those unable to reach high then had less food to eat and did not survive or reproduce. The variation in the population decreased and eventually only giraffes with long necks survived. Such an animal would be expected in a dry environment with food sources high above the ground, like trees on the savannah of Africa.
