Read through these excerpts from both scientists to answer the following questions: "The Origin of Species and Genera (S322: 1880) January issue of Nineteenth Century" by Alfred R. Wallace ...A species may be defined as a group of individuals of animals or plants which breed together freely and reproduce their like; whence it follows that all the individuals of a species, now living or which lived, have descended from a few common ancestors, or perhaps from a single pair. Thus all horses, whether Shetland ponies, racers, or cart-horses, form one species, because they freely breed together...... By the same test the common ass, the kiang, the quagga and the zebra are each shown to be distinct species; for through sometimes two or these species will breed together, they do not do so freely, they do not reproduce their like but an intermediate form called a mule, these mules are not capable of reproducing their kind, as are the offspring of any pairs of single species. On the Origin of Species, Chapter 4 by Charles Darwin, 1859 ....On the view that each species has been independently created, I can see no explanation of this great fact, in the classification of all the organic beings; but, to the best of my judgment, it is explained through inheritance and the complex action of natural selection, entailing extinction and divergence of character, as we have seen illustrated in the diagram.... What do you find similar between the two explanations?
