Evolutionary Theory
Topic
Evolutionary theory is the scientific framework explaining how the heritable characteristics of biological populations change over successive generations. Driven by processes such as natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation, it accounts for the diversification of life and the adaptation of organisms to their environments. First systematically formulated by Charles Darwin, the modern evolutionary synthesis integrates genetics with natural selection to form the cornerstone of modern biology.
