evolucioni
Evolucioni is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations through genetic variation and environmental pressures, leading to adaptation and, over long timescales, the emergence of new species. It encompasses mechanisms such as natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, and recombination.
Etymology and history: The term derives from Latin evolutio "unfolding," through European languages; in Albanian it
Mechanisms: Variation arises from mutations, genetic recombination, and other processes; heritable variation subject to differential fitness
Evidence: Fossil records show gradual changes; comparative anatomy and vestigial structures; embryology; biogeography; molecular data (DNA)
Applications and misconceptions: Evolution explains the diversity of life and is supported by extensive evidence; it
