evoluce
Evoluce is the process by which populations of organisms accumulate heritable changes over generations, leading to changes in traits and, over long periods, to the origin of new species. It operates at the level of populations rather than individuals and explains the diversity of life as a result of long-term adaptive and non-adaptive processes.
The main mechanisms of evolution are natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow. Natural selection
Evidence for evolution comes from multiple lines, including the fossil record, comparative anatomy, embryology, biogeography, and
Common misconceptions include the idea that evolution is goal-directed or that individuals evolve within a lifetime.
Applications of evolutionary understanding include addressing antibiotic resistance, guiding vaccine design, improving crops and livestock through
