Evolution, as a biological process, began with the emergence of life on Earth, estimated to have occurred around 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. The mechanisms of evolution, such as natural selection and genetic mutation, have been shaping species continuously since then. The fossil record shows evidence of significant evolutionary changes over time, particularly during events like the Cambrian Explosion around 541 million years ago, when many major groups of animals appeared. Thus, evolution is an ongoing process that has been happening for billions of years.

How and when did the argument between creation and evolution begin?

Just after the beginning of the 20th century a religious revival called fundamentalism gained traction in America and the battle commenced. Of course there was opposition before then, but now the opponents of evolutionary science were literalists in their biblical interpretations and well organized in their opposition to the theory of evolution by natural selection. There is no real argument, Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the fact of evolution. Creationism is pure nonsense.

Can the evolution of Man be traced in a continuous way?

Unfortunately, the evolution of man cannot be traced in a continuous way. This is why many people doubt that the theory of evolution is more than a theory. Scientific evidence does follow the evolution of man but there are gaps that are not explained.

Where did the evolution of modern state begin?

The evolution of the modern state began in Europe during the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, particularly with the consolidation of power by monarchs and the decline of feudalism. Key developments included the establishment of centralized governments, the codification of laws, and the rise of nation-states, particularly in France and England. The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 further solidified the concept of state sovereignty, shaping the modern international system. These changes laid the groundwork for contemporary political structures and governance.

For a mutation to affect evolution it must occur in?

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.
