Which of the following statements about the history of evolutionary biology is correct?     -The Modern Synthesis (or Evolutionary Synthesis) is a period of time in the early 20th century when the Mendelian genetics was integrated into the evolutionary biology.     -There are two main parts in the book On the Origin of Species, published by Darwin in 1859: the first is that biological evolution does occur and species arise through descent from common ancestor, with modification, and the second is that natural selection is the main driving force for the process.     -The most original contribution by Darwin is the theory of evolution by natural selection.     -Modern radiometric dating has pretty much settled the question on the age of the earth. The conclusion is that the earth is old enough for the evolutionary process proposed by Darwin to have taken place.     -All of the above
