  1. Three kids were arguing about Evolution at the local skate park after school. Which comment do you agree with the most?

    Anna: Evolution is like a climb up a ladder of progress. Organisms are always getting better.
    Xander: Evolution means that life changed by chance because genes can mutate.
    Mike: Evolution is not a progression from inferior to superior organisms. It depends on which traits are selected by nature.
    Maria: Evolution is about "survival of the fittest" so if an animal is bigger, stronger or faster, the animal will be more likely to reproduce compared to others.
