3. Evolution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

   Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. [1] [2] It occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection and genetic drift act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations. [3]

4. Bateson–Dobzhansky–Muller model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bateson–Dobzhansky...

   The Dobzhansky–Muller model describes the negative epistatic interactions that occur between different alleles (versions) of different genes with a different evolutionary history. [1] [5] These genetic incompatibilities can occur when populations are hybridising. When two populations diverge from a common ancestor and become isolated from ...

5. Evolutionary biology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_biology

   The idea of evolution by natural selection was proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859, but evolutionary biology, as an academic discipline in its own right, emerged during the period of the modern synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s. [8] It was not until the 1980s that many universities had departments of evolutionary biology.

6. Heredity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heredity

   All evolutionary phenomena can be explained in a way consistent with known genetic mechanisms and the observational evidence of naturalists. Evolution is gradual: small genetic changes, recombination ordered by natural selection. Discontinuities amongst species (or other taxa) are explained as originating gradually through geographical ...

7. Outline of evolution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_evolution

   In biology, evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological organisms over generations due to natural selection, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. Also known as descent with modification .

8. Universal Darwinism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Darwinism

   The following approaches can all be seen as exemplifying a generalization of Darwinian ideas outside of their original domain of biology. These "Darwinian extensions" can be grouped in two categories, depending on whether they discuss implications of biological (genetic) evolution in other disciplines (e.g. medicine or psychology), or discuss processes of variation and selection of entities ...

9. Human evolutionary genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolutionary_genetics

   Human evolutionary genetics studies how one human genome differs from another human genome, the evolutionary past that gave rise to the human genome, and its current effects. Differences between genomes have anthropological, medical, historical and forensic implications and applications. Genetic data can provide important insights into human ...
