Provide an explanation for the evolution of ___eyelashes___ guided by the 8 principles of natural selection. You should discuss all 8 principles as thoroughly as necessary to demonstrate your understanding of how they work and ultimately connect. As you go through each of the principles in your narrative, begin the sentence that includes a particular principle with the number (1-8) of the principle and circle the number. This will help call attention to your mastery of the principles and allow me to evaluate how effectively you have incorporated them into your narrative. This does not need to be “scientifically accurate” or supported by facts. It does need to be plausible and it does need to clearly demonstrate your understanding of the overall concept and each point of natural selection as framed by Charles Darwin.

Evolution of eyelashes; as guided by these 8 principles of natural selection is based on the fact that the eyelashes are a vital part of the defense mechanism of the body as it keeps the foreign body out of the cornea. Based on the above 8 principals it can be said that the eyebrows evolved due to selection of the species that had it and their subsequent multiplication from a set of population that had a mix i.e. individuals with eyelashes and ones without it. This variation might have arose due to some adaptation and was passed in successive generations.
