Evolutionary Theory

Evolutionary Theory is the fundamental concept of modern biology and underpins all biological sciences. It is the bedrock of understanding how living organisms change over time through the mechanism of natural selection. Evolutionary Theory explains the diversity of life and how species are related, as well as how they adapt to changing environments. Evolutionary Theory has great implications to the human race and its impact over the years has been huge. Its uses range from helping to identify the causes of diseases through to understanding the genetic diversity of plants and animals. It has also been used to help conserve endangered species, and to understand our place in the natural world.
