The Process of Evolution

Evolution by definition is the process of change in all forms of life over generations. The process is simple enough to understand in roughly 7 steps.

Step One:

A life form becomes numerous by reproducing.

Step Two:

The offspring is different from the parent in tiny, random ways by the means of changes in hereditary information of the organism.

Step Three:

If these changes are helpful, the offspring have a higher chance of living long enough to reproduce.

Step Four:

The life form may pass down their helpful change, and so further offspring have a higher chance of making more offspring than others without the helpful change.

Step Five:

More offspring = more helpful change in future generations.

Step Six:

Differences accumulate in the species' population.

Step Seven:

Over time population branches off as a new species.

This occurs in all life forms.
