Evolutionary Mechanics

Evolutionary mechanics refers to the processes and principles that drive change in living organisms over time. At its core, it involves genetic variation within populations, where differences in DNA affect traits. Some traits offer advantages in survival or reproduction, leading those individuals to pass their genes more frequently. Over generations, these small changes accumulate, shaping the development of species. Concepts like natural selection, mutation, and genetic drift are fundamental to understanding how populations adapt and evolve, ultimately resulting in the diversity of life we see today.
