ISTANBUL (IDN) – Had Charles Darwin been alive today, he would have probably added the Lisbon Treaty as an evidence confirming his natural selection theory, which he described in his ‘The Origin Of Species’, 150 years ago. But he might have been also perplexed to see that Turkey, in spite of its evolution, cannot join the European Union.
Darwin’s concept was as clear as convincing: individuals best adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce. As long as there is some variation between them, there will be an inevitable selection of individuals with the most advantageous variations."
