rekkeutvikling
Rekkeutvikling, also known as serial development or serial evolution, is a concept in biology and evolutionary theory that describes the process by which a species evolves through a series of distinct, successive forms. This process is often observed in the fossil record, where intermediate forms between ancestral and descendant species can be identified. Rekkeutvikling is a key component of the theory of evolution by natural selection, as it provides evidence for the gradual change in species over time.
The term "rekkeutvikling" was coined by the Norwegian biologist Ernst Mayr in the 1940s. It is derived
Rekkeutvikling is often illustrated through examples such as the evolution of horses, where various intermediate forms,
The concept of rekkeutvikling has significant implications for our understanding of the diversity of life on
