Can populations evolve?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.Short answer, populations are the only thing that evolves. Individuals die. Traits are passed on to progeny that make up the variations in the populations that evolve.
Do genera populations phyla kingdoms or individuals evolve?

Why must an adaptation be inheritable if it is to cause a population to evolve?
If an adaptation were non-inheritable it could not cause the population to evolve because it would not be part of the populations gene pool.
