Ewolucj

Ewolucj is a term that appears to be a truncation or misspelling of ewolucja, the Polish word for evolution. As a standalone term, it is not widely recognized as a separate scientific concept. In many contexts, "ewolucj" may be used informally to refer to evolution in biology, culture, or artificial systems.

Biological evolution is the change in inherited characteristics of populations over generations. The process is driven by mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and recombination, which generate variation and, over time, adaptation and speciation. Evolution operates through changes in allele frequencies within populations and through descent with modification.

Evidence for evolution comes from multiple fields: the fossil record, comparative anatomy and embryology, biogeography, and, increasingly, genomics and molecular biology. The theory was developed in the 19th century by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, and was later expanded in the Modern Synthesis to incorporate genetics. In modern usage, evolutionary biology includes population genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and computational methods for reconstructing evolutionary relationships.

Evolutionary concepts also inform studies outside biology, such as cultural and technological evolution, where ideas, practices, and designs spread and change according to selection-like processes.

Because "ewolucj" is not a standard term in scientific discourse, readers are usually directed to the broader topic of ewolucja (evolution). See also: evolution, Darwin, natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, speciation, phylogeny, modern synthesis, Lamarck.
