By and large, evolution does not really affect people since it takes very many generations for even a minor evolutionary change to occur.
The most obvious exception is the evolution of viruses and bacteria. Because these micro-organisms have such short lives, many generations occur in less than one year. So, micro-organisms can sometimes evolve - or mutate - into something rather different to last year. For example, we may have built up immunity to last year's influenza strain, but find we have no immunity to this year's strain. Similarly, it the avian flu was able evolve in such a way that it could survive and even proliferate in humans, jumping species from birds to humans.
For a mutation to affect evolution, it must occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (sperm or egg cells) so that it can be passed on to offspring. Mutations that occur in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) do not directly impact evolution as they are not inherited by future generations.
The "rate" of evolution is most accurately gauged in terms of divergence between genetic sequences. Chromosomes are basically groupings of such sequences. It is certainly possible that the number and order of these groupings affect future developments (for instance: polyploidy and chromosomal fusions can affect speciation events), but they do little to affect the overall "rate" of divergence.
Acquired traits cannot be passed on to offspring through genetic inheritance, so they do not directly affect evolution. Evolution occurs through changes in the genetic composition of a population over generations, primarily driven by natural selection acting on inherited traits. Evolution is influenced by genetic variations that arise through mutation and recombination, not by acquired traits acquired during an individual's lifetime.
Yes, migration can affect evolution by introducing new genetic diversity into populations. This can lead to adaptation to new environments and potentially drive evolutionary changes within a population. Additionally, migration can facilitate gene flow between populations, influencing genetic diversity and evolution on a larger scale.
For a character to affect evolution, it must be heritable, meaning it can be passed down from one generation to the next through genetic means. Additionally, the character must confer some sort of advantage or disadvantage that affects the individual's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
what affect tectonics have on evolution of new spiecies
The term coevolution (affect) is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. So for example, an evolutionary change in the morphology of a plant, might affect the morphology of an herbivore that eats the plant, which in turn might affect the evolution of the plant, which might affect the evolution of the herbivore and so on.
No
Predicting how our parasites are going to evolve under the selection pressure of our prophylactic efforts is vital in the lives of the people.

The word "evolution" means "change". The Theory of Evolution is concerned with change among living things, animals and plants. Such change does not affect climate in any significant way. Earth is also evolving. The tectonic plates are moving; volcanic action is changing the face of the Earth, creating new islands, changing the topography. These changes---the evolution of Earth---do affect climate.
No one has to believe in evolution. Evolution vs creation doesn't really affect our everyday lives that much. We're still ourselves, whether we were created or evolved. It'd be helpful to believe in evolution if you're a scientist in biology and/or archaeology. Some jobs wouldn't make much sense from a creationist perspective.
For a mutation to affect evolution, it must occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (sperm or egg cells) so that it can be passed on to offspring. Mutations that occur in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) do not directly impact evolution as they are not inherited by future generations.
yes it does
Climate change is a good example of an environmental factor that will certainly affect the way populations evolve.
amber is a thingy that people use. it is connect to the evolution because it come out of people everyday.
