Evolution

Evolution traces the story of life on earth — how it began and how the diversity we see today came about. The chapter moves from the origin of the universe and the early earth, through the chemical origin of life and Miller's experiment, to the theories of Lamarck and Darwin, the many lines of evidence for evolution (fossils, comparative anatomy, embryology and molecular biology), adaptive radiation, the mechanisms that drive change (variation, mutation and the types of natural selection), the Hardy–Weinberg principle and the forces that disturb it, the geological timeline of life, and finally the evolution of our own species. Total: 17 sections including dedicated Solved Examples, Board and NEET practice, and a Summary.
