- Evolution is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations through the inheritance of genetic traits.
- Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection states that organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to the next generation.
- Evidence for evolution includes fossil records, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and biogeography.
- Different mechanisms of evolution include natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation.
- The process of speciation occurs when populations become reproductively isolated and diverge into separate species.
- Evolution can occur at a microevolutionary scale (within a population) or a macroevolutionary scale (leading to the origin of new species).
