The cumulative change in characters of a group of organisms over time.<\/p>\n

\n

Changes in the characteristics of living things as a result of an interruption in the genetic equilibrium of the species. Forces of evolution are chiefly gene mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.<\/p>\n

\n

A process of change in organisms which takes place over a very long period involving many generations.<\/p>\n

\n

An uninterrupted process of change from one condition, form or state to another. In biological evolution, all varieties of living things are seen as having developed by inheritable, incremental changes from unicellular structures to complex organisms such as humankind. The precise biological mechanism of evolution was not unravelled until the 20th century, with the discovery of chromosomes and genes and the development of the science of genetics.<\/p>\n

\n

A process of orderly and gradual change or development. More generally, any orderly and gradual process of modification whereby a system, whether physical, chemical, social, or intellectual, becomes more highly organized.<\/p>\n

\n

A developmental process occurring in all living species over the millions of years that life has existed on Earth. This process typically entails changes that lead to a greater complexity and differentiation of bodily structures.<\/p>\n
