What Does
Evolution Mean?
Evolution is a term used to describe any process of gradual development or steady growth from one thing to something greater or more complex. In biology, it is the term given to the theory that all species descend from one common ancestor and have developed into what they are today through natural selection over a long period of time. This process is theorized to have happened over millions of years.
