Note: On Jun 4th, 1539, Martin Luther discussed with his disciples; a certain new astrologer who wanted to prove that the Earth moves and not the sky, the Sun, and the Moon. Astrologer Nicolaus Copernicus and his heliocentric theory would ultimately displace Earth from the center of the universe. By the late 17th century, among the Western scientific intelligentsia, Earth was no longer the center of the universe.arrow_forward
- Which is an example of disruptive selection? Group of answer choices Drug resistance increases with each generation; the resistant bacteria survive, and the nonresistant bacteria get killed off. Swiss starlings usually lay four or five eggs, thereby increasing their chances of more offspring. Over time, Equus developed strength, intelligence, speed and durable grinding teeth.
