What is evolution?

Evolution is the gradual process of change in living organisms over many generations, leading to the development of new characteristics and sometimes new species.

It occurs due to genetic variations, mutations, natural selection, and environmental influences that help organisms adapt to their surroundings.

According to the theory of evolution, organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to future generations.

For example, the evolution of giraffes with long necks helped them reach leaves on tall trees more easily.

Evolution explains the diversity of life on Earth and the relationship between different organisms over time.
