Darwinian evolution
Darwinian evolution, based on the ideas of Charles Darwin, explains how species change over time through a process called natural selection. In this process, individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those advantageous traits to their offspring.
Over many generations, these small changes can lead to the development of new species. This theory helps us understand the diversity of life on Earth and how organisms adapt to their surroundings, contributing to the broader field of evolutionary biology.
