Definition
| E landmass and the islands up to Bali must have must been connected to Asia, while Wombok and everything to the W must have been once been connected themselves. He thinks the ancient physical connection could explain the shared group of birds in the E and the groups of birds in the W. He is also correct the distance between Bali and Wombok is short but the ocean is deep because Bali is just over on the edge of the continental shelf and Wombak is just across it for millions of years due to continental drift these plays were much farther apart. Line that marks that division |

Term
|
Definition
| As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently, there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of surviving, and thus be naturally selected. |
