Preferred term

organic evolution  

Definition

  • Evolution, in the modern sense, refers to changes in the genetic composition of populations over time and is the result of natural selection and/or genetic drift acting on population variation. In this Darwinian paradigm, species may change or split into more than one species (speciation). [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Evolution, Organic]
