“A wise man adapts himself to circumstances, as water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it.”
-Chinese Proverb
In my first career as a science teacher, the work of Charles Darwin and his book, “The Origin of Species,” was always part of the curriculum. The bottom line is that a species will survive only as long as it is able to adapt to its physical environment, including climate, food sources, and predators.
EXERCISE:
