evolutionary biology

**evolutionary biology**

Evolutionary biology is the branch of biology that studies the processes and mechanisms driving the diversity and changes in living organisms over time. This field explores concepts such as natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow to understand how species adapt, evolve, and sometimes become extinct. It integrates evidence from genetics, paleontology, ecology, and comparative anatomy to unravel the history of life on Earth.
