One of the main differences between skin rashes and hives is the way that they appear on the skin. The raised, red bumps that are hives are eruptions on the surface of the skin. Rashes are a skin discoloration and will only appear slightly raised from the skinâs surface.
Alfred Russel Wallace, codeveloper of the theory of evolution. The image is modified from http://www.prs.k12.nj.us/schools/phs/science_Dept/APBio/Natural_Selection.html. In 1858, Charles Darwin received a letter from Wallace, in which Darwin's as-yet-unpublished theory of evolution and adaptation was precisely detailed.
In the 1970s, however, biologists Niles Eldridge and Stephen Jay Gould proposed that evolution by natural selection may not have been such a smooth and consistent process. Based on fossils from around the world that showed the abrupt appearance of new species, Eldridge and Gould suggested that evolution is better described through punctuated equilibrium.
