Evrimleme

Evrimleme is a Turkish noun that designates the act or process of evolution. It is formed by adding the suffix -leme to evrim, the word for evolution, following common Turkish noun-formation patterns. The term is used in scientific, educational, and media contexts to describe gradual change and adaptation over time.

In biology, evrimleme refers to the process by which populations undergo evolutionary change, including mechanisms such as natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, and speciation. In broader or figurative usage, the word can describe evolution in technology, culture, language, or social practices—where ideas, systems, or structures adapt and transform through iterative variation and selection.

In computer science and related fields, evrimleme appears in discussions of evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms, and optimization methods that simulate evolutionary principles to improve solutions or designs. The term thus encompasses both natural biological processes and analogous artificial processes that resemble evolution.

Etymology and usage notes: the Turkish term illustrates productive word formation, with -leme forming abstract nouns that denote processes or actions. While evrimleşme is also used to convey evolution, evrimleme emphasizes the act of evolving as a process. The concept sits within broader Turkish vocabulary on evolution, alongside related terms such as evrimsel (relating to evolution) and evrim teorisi (the theory of evolution).
