Higher reproduction rates are the factor that will most likely guarantee evolution rather than extinction. Higher reproduction rates can increase genetic variation and provide more opportunities for natural selection to act on a population, potentially leading to evolutionary changes. While changes in the environment and available food sources can also influence evolution, they do not guarantee it in the same way that increased reproduction can. Larger animal sizes may not necessarily impact evolution in a positive direction either.
