Mechanism of Biological Evolution • Lamarck (1744-1829): Used organs evolve and abandoned organs decay. • Darwin (1809-1882): Lives compete for resources and the fitness survive.

Logic of Life • Life came about through evolution. • Evolution is the result of variation and natural selection • Natural selection is a consequence of self-reproduction; variation is due to imprecise reproduction or other modifications • Self-reproduction is based on structural complementarity of a particular class of molecules.
