Evolutionary Processes

Evolutionary processes refer to the various mechanisms by which species change and diversify over time. These processes include natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and gene flow. All of these processes are important in helping species adapt to their environment and have enabled life on Earth to diversify into the vast array of species that we see today. Evolutionary processes can also be applied to the study of human societies and development. Understanding these processes can help us better understand how and why societies evolve, and can even provide insight into how to better manage and promote the evolution of a society or species.
