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.

Why is evolution a multigenerational multi-individual process?

Evolution is defined as the change in allele frequencies over time. Thus it has to be multi-generational, as the individuals in a single generation don't change their alleles. Similarly, individuals don't evolve (your genes don't change) and so it has to be a multi-individual process that occurs over multiple generations.

What is the most accurate evidence for evolution?

That multi-celled animals exist. Without evolution we'd just be strands of RNA swimming or blowing about.


How does viral evolution support the theory of evolution?

Because viruses are single-cell organisms, they can mutate (evolve) quicker than complex, multi-cell organisms, where evolution gradually happens over time spans that humans can hardly fathom. Viral mutations give evolutionary biologists the opportunity to observe the process within timespans a human being can grasp. It not only supports the theory of evolution, but confirms it with demonstrable evidence.

What is a PID and how is it useful when troubleshooting a system?

PID stands for Process Identifier, a uniquely assigned integer that identifies a process in the operating system. In any system, applications use PID to identify the process uniquely. Also, it is used in diagnosing the problems with the process in Multi-Tasking systems.

Why is evolution a continuous cycle?

Some would like to say that there is no such thing as evolution, some would argue for the idea. I suggest that the whole concept of evolution is a relative one, in which we as humans have determined what it is or isn't, as we do with most ideas. So what evolution is will be different for each person. Hence there is no need to say there is or is no evolution, but rather, this is my idea of it. Still there is a problem I feel, with the question itself. It asks about the "cycle" of evolution. That assumption may not be shared even by those who agree that we are an evolving species. Whether it be from a biological evolution or a spiritual one, does the process have to be cyclic? Could it be linear, or multi-dimensional? Could it be finite or infinite, even if it is determined to be cyclic? Thus the questioner needs to rephrase his or her question. I think when doing this, the answer will be found in the question! - Parinda
