Word origin
The word 'evolution' originated from the Latin word 'evolutio' which means unrolling. The concept of evolution has been a topic of scientific study and debate for centuries, with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection being one of the most influential ideas in biology. Evolution is a fundamental principle in understanding the diversity of life on Earth and how species adapt to their environments over time.
