According to Charles Darwin why did the peppered moths evolve?
GPT 3.5
According to Charles Darwin, the peppered moths evolved in response to natural selection. During the industrial revolution in England, pollution from factories caused trees to become covered in soot and darken in color. Previously, the light-colored peppered moths had been well-camouflaged against the light-colored trees, allowing them to avoid predation. However, with the appearance of darkened trees, the dark-colored peppered moths had a better chance of survival as they were better camouflaged against the new environment. Over time, the dark-colored peppered moths became more prevalent as they had a survival advantage, showcasing the process of natural selection and adaptation.
