Write a sonnet in the style of Shakespeare that explains Darwin’s theory of evolution:
“The world of life, with all its wondrous forms,
Was once a single, simple, primal strain;
But then, by chance, some creatures did transform
To fit their needs, and so began to change.
The fittest of this new breed did survive,
And passed their traits to offspring far and wide;
The weak and ill-adapted, doomed to die,
Their genes no longer in the gene-pool bide.
This process, Darwin named ‘natural selection’,
The driving force of evolution’s course;
The species that endure, his theory tells,
Are those that best their environment force.
So life, with all its wondrous forms, today
Is but the result of chance and change at play.”
