The Modern Evolutionary Synthesis

The Modern Evolutionary Synthesis is a scientific framework that combines Darwin’s theory of natural selection with genetics. It explains how species evolve through small, gradual changes in genes over generations, driven by environmental pressures. By integrating discoveries from biology, genetics, and paleontology, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how life diversifies and adapts. This synthesis clarifies that evolution is a continuous process influenced by genetic variations, reproduction, and natural selection, shaping the incredible diversity of life we see today.
