Can and individual evolve during his or her lifetime?

Answer 1

Answer #1

evolve like in evolution?

Yes evolution is more than proven, it is a fact not a theory ad therefore, all living things can evolve,, but of course, time is crucial, it takes a long time to see something change, evolve. several thousands, millions of years.

Hope I helped :)

No u didnt help, that was the most idioic thing i have ever read, so go kill yourself and do everyone a favour

Answer #2

I 100% disagree with answer #1. Things have never been proven to evolve. They can and do mutate. Mutation is the losing of genetic information. Germs mutate. They lose genetic info. They can never gain info. To evolve you must gain info, which scientifically can not happen.

Basically any organism can "work with what they have" but cannot "poof" create something from nothing.

Answer 2

Theoretically, yes. At the moment it would seem unlikely to happen, however, since we don't presently have a large selective pressure placed on the population and because we actively work against the evolutionary process by caring for individuals with less advantageous genetic make-ups including, importantly from an evolutionary perspective, enabling them to breed and pass on those less advantageous genetic make-ups.

At the beginning of the previous century there was some support for the attempt to improve the human race. Proponents hoped to prevent the passing on of less advantageous alleles by restricting the ability of various individuals to breed. This is known as eugenics. A well-known supporter of this theory was H. G. Wells, the Science Fiction writer who wrote 'The Time Machine'. Eugenics was a feature of the Nazis' plan for Germany and has consequently fallen from favour.

Answer 3

Yes, individuals can evolve throughout their lifetime due to experiences, learning, personal growth, and change in beliefs or perspectives. This ongoing process of change and development allows for personal evolution and transformation over time.

Answer 4

no, evolution is a slow and long-term process that alters characteristics of a species or subspecies to increase their fitness within their environment.

Answer 5

No individuals cannot evolve, they can adapt to surroundings and environments but only the mind can evolve in an individual.

Answer 6

it depends if a animal tha lives in the ice cold water and moves to warm waters somehow it will be forced to evolve in order to live

Answer 7

Never, an aindividual or any organism does not evolve, the theory of evoloution is just a theory, it cannot be proved under scientific facts.
