it would appear to be minimal control at best. This paper considers how far humans can control nature; what kind of power we exercise over it; and what powers it
exercises over us. The paper uses Natural Selection by Charles Darwin and The Enchiridion by Epictetus as a framework for the investigation. Discussion Natural Selection is Darwins great work on
the origin of species. The book is a result of his voyage on the Beagle and his investigation of the life forms on the Galapagos Islands. When he realized that
each island had a different species he began to develop his theory of natural selection, which went squarely against the idea that God had created man and the world in
seven days. Darwins theory is as follows: "One of the prime motives for all species is to reproduce and survive, passing on the genetic information of the species from generation
to generation" (Charles Darwin and natural selection, 2006). When species reproduce, the natural tendency is for them to have more offspring than the environment can support, with the result that
competition for resources increases (Charles Darwin and natural selection, 2006). The struggle for survival means that some will not survive; but those who die do not do so randomly; those
who perish are less suited to the environment than those who survive (Charles Darwin and natural selection, 2006). In other words, the "fittest" survive (. When species do this they
tend to Furthermore, the survivors "who are better suited to their environment exhibit desirable characteristics, which is a consequence of their genome being more suitable to begin with" (Charles
Darwin and natural selection, 2006). "This weeding out of less suited organisms and the reward of survival to those better suited led Darwin to deduce that organisms had evolved over
