evolutions

 

[ หŒษ›vษ™หˆluหสƒษ™nz ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

biological change

Evolutions refer to the gradual changes in living organisms over successive generations. This concept is foundational in the field of biology and explains how species adapt and evolve through processes such as natural selection and genetic drift. Evolution can lead to the development of new species and the extinction of others. The theory of evolution, first widely popularized by Charles Darwin, has profound implications for our understanding of life's diversity and complexity.

Synonyms

change, development, progression

Examples of usage

  • The evolutions of species can take millions of years.
  • Evolution is a key concept in biology.
  • Darwinโ€™s theory explains much about the evolutions we see today.

Etymology

The term 'evolution' comes from the Latin word 'evolutio', which means 'unrolling' or 'opening up'. It was originally used in a non-biological sense to describe the unfolding of a process or the gradual development of something. The biological meaning of the term began to take shape in the 19th century, particularly with the works of naturalists like Charles Darwin, who published 'On the Origin of Species' in 1859. This work laid the groundwork for evolutionary biology, proposing that species evolve through natural selection. Since then, the understanding of evolution has expanded significantly, incorporating genetics and molecular biology, leading to what is now referred to as 'modern evolutionary synthesis'.
