  The same way that variation of human species was predicted according to
  their environment.

  Studies in genetics have made it reasonable to conclude that all human
  traits could have come from an original set of genes. This includes
  dark skin, light skin, eye shape, accentuated facial features, height, etc.

  Your facts are a little misleading about the moths. The variation of color
  was not DUE to the pollution of the environment. The issue was that one
  color of moth went from being the minority to the majority as the environ-
  ment changed. The variation in color already exsisted prior to the
  introduction of pollution into the environment.

  What is the difference between "described by" and "predicted by"? If the
  model "describes" a certain set of observable circumstances, wouldn't
  this also constitute "predicted by"?
