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
