Revision as of 05:29, 28 December 2014 by TheProfessor (talk | contribs) (Creation of Outline of evolution - initially populated with list from Evolution (disambiguation))(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) See also: Index of evolutionary biology articlesEvolution' is the change in traits of biological organisms over time due to natural selection, mutation, and gene flow. 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
- Timeline of evolutionary history of life, more concise outline
- Macroevolution, change above level of species, including speciation, anagenesis, and extinction
- Microevolution, change within species or populations, due to mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow, and genetic drift
