Evolution Theory

Evolution theory explains how living organisms change over time through the process of natural selection. It suggests that individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to their offspring. Over many generations, this can lead to the development of new species. The theory, formulated by Charles Darwin in the 19th century, is supported by evidence from various fields like genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy, showing that all life is connected and has evolved from common ancestors.
