Evolution
The document provides an overview of key concepts and evidence related to evolution including: 1) Evolution is the process of cumulative change in heritable traits of a population over generations. Natural selection is the mechanism that drives evolutionary change as it favors traits that increase survival and reproduction. 2) Evidence for evolution includes observations of domesticated animals, homologous structures between species, the fossil record showing ancestral relationships, and DNA/genetic evidence confirming shared ancestry. 3) Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection proposed that populations evolve over time as favorable inherited traits become more common through differential reproduction of individuals based on their adaptation to the environment.
