Evolution refers to the processes that have transformed life on earth from its earliest forms to the enormous diversity that characterizes it today.
Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection on November 24, It was the first convincing case for evolution.

2. Chapter 22: Darwin and Evolution
Darwin made two major points:
1. Species evolved from ancestral species and were not specially created.
2. Natural selection is a mechanism that could result in this evolutionary change.
