Evolution is the change in traits of biological organisms over time due to natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Evolutionary biology or evolution is the subfield of biology concerned with study of evolutionary processes that produced the diversity of life on Earth.

Fundamentals

Introduction to evolution, non-technical introduction
Applications of evolution, practical applications in fields such as ecology, artificial intelligence, medicine, and computer science
Evolution as fact and theory, basis for scientific acceptance as theory (well-substantiated explanation) based on fact (empirical data and objective verifiable observation)
Evolutionary history of life, outline of major events during evolution of life on Earth
