Evolution
Time Span
Evolution in biology often implies changes over millions of years, not quick transformations.
Scientists study fossils to understand the evolution of dinosaurs.
Common Misconception
'Evolution' doesn't mean 'improvement'; it refers to adaptation to an environment.
The evolution of the species resulted in diverse forms, not necessarily better ones.
Natural Selection
Evolution often involves 'survival of the fittest' which means the best adapted survive.
