Evolution simply means change occurring over time, especially a gradual change. You can, for example, speak of an evolution in architectural styles, or in music.

The evolution that biologists talk about is organic evolution.

Natural selection is the name of the process suggested by Alfred Russell Wallace and Charles Darwin in the mid-nineteenth century to explain how organisms might have evolved. The process involves some individuals in a population surviving, and others not.

If the survivors possess one or more qualities that make them more likely to survive, and that are hereditary (encoded in DNA), then the genes that produce these qualities will become more abundant over time in the population.
Evolution is a process of slow change in a group of organisms, natural selection is the means by which evolution works.

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.


What is the difference between the meanings of the terms evolution and natural selection?

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Change over time and a fact. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms and explains much about the fact of evolution.

Is evolution a natural selection?

Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
