Evolutionary Biology

---

Evolutionary biology is the study of how species change and diversify over time through natural selection, genetic drift, and other mechanisms. It seeks to understand the patterns and processes that drive evolution, from the origins of life to the diversity of organisms that exist today. This interdisciplinary field draws on genetics, ecology, paleontology, and other disciplines to uncover the history of life on Earth and to inform our understanding of current biological systems and their interactions with the environment.
