What is evolution?

[Edit]

Evolution

In its most basic form, evolution is genetic change within a population. This is an easily observed fact. The previous answer is a description of the theory of evolution. Evolution is, like gravity, both a fact and a theory.

Evolution is a scientific concept put forward by Charles Darwin that all the species of animal have originated from a common ancestor and changed over time to the present situation. Evolution is the changing of a specie to a new form with cross breeding and mutations.

There are different theories of the Evolution.

  • Survival of the Fittest is one theory. It says that in the Evolution, the species that fitted the nature best; served to make new species through mutation and cross breeding.

  • Natural Selection the other most important theory says that better qualities of a specie goes to the next generation and the species becomes better over time.

It is so simple that human kind has evolved through time. Now we have the Internet, TV, Trains, Aeroplanes. Things people lived centuries ago never could imagine. It is the evolution of mankind. If you look at some very old botanical directory and compare with the plants at this time, you will notice small changes happened through the time.

Actually

Survival of the Fittest and Natural Selection are two terms for the same theory. The theory is that the strongest survive to pass their traits onto their children and only the strongest of those survive until you have a much stronger and different species.

Evolution is the change of species through time. Process of change with time during successive generations among organisms.

Evolution is the explanation for the development, adaptation and diversity of life, as well as the morphological similarities between different kinds of life, such as the similarities between mammals and other "families" of species
