The story of a butterfly that explains how species evolve.

People often wonder or rather doubt how new species are formed. Some people doubt the whole phenomenon of evolution because it's "a theory of evolution". However, in reality, evolution happens and we can find evidence of it in nature. Here, for instance, a species of butterfly in Amazon region was found to have evolved from the hybridization of two other species of butterflies. Interestingly, the descendants of all these three lineages of butterflies coexist in same geographical region and two of these occasionally mate with each other.

People - Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin was obviously the first person who came to my mind when I decided to write a short note on scientists in Life Science. Who else could he/she be then? This young man traveled the world from 1931-1936. He collected lots of specimen and kept meticulous records of his voyage. Here is the man who postulated it all. The nature of life. The mechanism of life's succession- the evolution.
