Somewhat. They even have a unit for it. Called a darwin, of course.

How do people evolve?

They don't - at least, not individually. Evolution is measured as the shifting of allele frequencies in populations.


How can we increase your evolution?

Ehr, I'd rather you didn't...Evolution is not an individual thing; it's something measured in terms of changing allele frequencies in entire populations.It's also something that can't be increased or decreased. You can increase the rate of evolution, for instance by increasing the rate of mutation, but there isn't something like a higher or lower "state of evolution".


What are the two speeds that evolution can happen?

There are no discrete speeds for evolution. A workable method for measuring evolution could be in terms of genetic divergence, measured, for instance, in nucleotide basepairs per million per year. For humans and chimps, such a method would yield an equivalent of about 600 bp divergence per generation, ie. about 0.01 bp per million bp per year.


Why is evolution a multigenerational multi individual process?

Because of the way evolution has been defined: the change in allele frequencies in the population gene pool over successive generations. Since change is introduced in the gene pool as a result of reproduction, it is automatically a generational process. And as a single animal can tell us very little about whether its behaviour, morphology and genetics are average or not, evolution must by necessity be measured over populations.


What is the difference between theory of evolution and language evolution?

Theory of evolution refers to animals and plants evolution along the time. Language evolution is another issue, not entirely related to the theory of evolution. It follows the theory of evolution on some way but it is related to culture evolution, not to the physical attributes evolution.


What is a macro evolution?

Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.


What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?

Evolution is a process, theories of evolution are theories which explain that process
