What is evolution?

Evolution is the process by which species of organisms develop and change over time through adaptations to their environment. This occurs through the mechanism of natural selection, where those traits which aid an organism in survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed down to future generations. Over millions of years, this gradual process can lead to the development of new species and the diversification of life on Earth. Evolution is a crucial concept in biology and has important implications for understanding the history and diversity of life on our planet.
