The theory of evolution is widely accepted among the scientific community, serving to link the diverse specialty areas of biology.<ref name=delgado/> Evolution provides the field of biology with a solid scientific base. The significance of evolutionary theory is best described by the title of a paper by [[Theodosius Dobzhansky]] (1900–1975), published in ''American Biology Teacher''; "[[Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution]]".<ref name=NCSE>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncseweb.org/resources/articles/9256_cans_and_cants_of_teaching_ev_2_13_2001.asp |title=NCSE Resource |accessdate=2008-01-01 |date=2001-02-13 |work=Cans and Can`ts of Teaching Evolution |publisher=[[National Center for Science Education]]}}</ref> Nevertheless, the theory of evolution is not static. There is much discussion within the scientific community concerning the mechanisms behind the evolutionary process. For example, the rate at which evolution occurs is still under discussion. In addition,
