Another flaw in Charles Darwin's original theory is the geological record which did not support Darwin's prediction of gradual transition between life forms. To explain this lack of gradualism in the fossil record, Stephen Jay Gould invented a new theory called punctuated equilibrium.

influenza (flu) causes
Flu viruses travel through the air in droplets when someone with the infection coughs, sneezes or talks.
If future influenza viruses are similar to those you've encountered before, either by having the disease or by vaccination, those antibodies may prevent infection or lessen its severity.
A number of virus subtypes have appeared in humans since the global epidemic (pandemic) of 1918, which killed tens of millions of people.
