Allen's Theory of Evolution

Allen’s Theory of Evolution emphasizes the importance of environmental factors in shaping the physical and behavioral adaptations of species over time. It suggests that animals develop traits that help them survive in their specific habitats, such as adjustments in activity patterns or physical features. These adaptations occur gradually through natural selection, as individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to thrive and reproduce. Allen’s principle highlights how species evolve in response to their surroundings, leading to diversity tailored to different ecological conditions. It underscores the dynamic relationship between organisms and their environments in the process of evolutionary change.
