The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to evolution:
Evolution – change in heritable traits of biological organisms over generations due to natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Also known as descent with modification. "Evolution" is also another name for evolutionary biology, the subfield of biology concerned with studying evolutionary processes that produced the diversity of life on Earth.
General reference
- Introduction to evolution – non-technical introduction
- Evolution as fact and theory – basis for scientific acceptance as theory (well-substantiated explanation) based on fact (empirical data and objective verifiable observation)
Subfields of evolution
- Biosocial criminology
- Ecological genetics
- Evolutionary aesthetics
- Evolutionary anthropology
- Evolutionary computation
- Evolutionary developmental biology
- Evolutionary ecology
- Evolutionary economics
- Evolutionary epistemology
- Evolutionary ethics
- Evolutionary game theory

- Population genetics
- Selective breeding

Evolutionary processes
- Macroevolution – change above level of species, including:
- Speciation – evolutionary process by which new biological species arise.
- Natural speciation
- Artificial speciation
- Hybrid speciation –
- Despeciation –
- Anagenesis –
- Extinction –
- Speciation – evolutionary process by which new biological species arise.
- Microevolution – change within species or populations, due to mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow, and genetic drift
- Evolvability – capacity of a system for adaptive evolution. Beneficial mutations are always rare, but if they are too rare, then adaptation cannot occur. Biological genomes are structured in ways that make beneficial changes less unlikely than they would otherwise be. Evolution has created not just fitter organisms, but populations of organisms that are better able to evolve.
- Adaptation
- Adaptive radiation
- Co-operation
- Coevolution
- Convergent evolution

- Robustness (evolution)
- Speciation
Taxonomy, systematics, and phylogeny
- Biological classification
- Cladistics
- Common descent – how different lineages of organisms share a most recent common ancestor
- Most recent common ancestor – most recent individual from which all organisms in a group are directly descended. It is impossible to identify the specific MRCA of a large set of individuals, but an estimate of the time at which the MRCA lived can often be given.
- Evidence of common descent –
- Basic concepts
- Inference methods
- Probabilistic methods
- Current topics
- Group Traits
- Alpha taxonomy
- Binomial nomenclature
- Catalogue of life
- Homonym (biology)
- Integrated Taxonomic Information System
- International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
- International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants
- Linnaean taxonomy
- Phenetics
- Species 2000
- Taxonomic rank
- Type (biology)
