Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution.

That is what make a theory, explanation. Facts are useful, but uninteresting. Theories explain facts by gathering many convergent pieces of evidence and putting it into a logical and consistent whole.

What effect does generation time have on evolution rate?

A shorter generation time typically leads to a faster evolution rate because organisms can produce more offspring in a shorter amount of time, increasing the frequency of mutations and opportunities for natural selection to act. Conversely, a longer generation time can slow down evolution as changes are passed on less frequently to future generations.


Why you study evolution?

I study evolution because it is the concept that underlies all of biology. Biology would still be natural history without the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection is the overarching theory that underpins all of biology while explaining much about the fact of evolution. " Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution. " Dobzansky.

What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?

Evolution is the process by which species change over time through natural selection. Theories of evolution, such as Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, are explanations for how evolution occurs and the mechanisms driving it. In essence, evolution is the phenomenon, while theories of evolution are the explanations for how it happens.
