Evolutionary biology studies the processes that drive the diversity and adaptation of life on Earth. It examines mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic variation, mutation, and environmental adaptation to explain how species evolve over time.
This field provides insights into biodiversity, health sciences, and environmental conservation.
Key Dimensions:
- Study of genetic variation and inheritance
- Natural selection and adaptation
- Speciation and extinction
- Relationship between organisms and environments
Example:
Research on antibiotic resistance in bacteria is grounded in evolutionary biology.
