Mechanizmy i dowody ewolucji biologicznej
Biologia

Zrozumienie ewolucji biologicznej opiera się na wielu niezależnych, ale wzajemnie potwierdzających się źródłach wiedzy, takich jak skamieniałości, biogeografia, anatomia porównawcza (struktury homologiczne i analogiczne), biochemia i genetyka molekularna, embriologia, a także analiza drzew filogenetycznych. Zmienność genetyczna, wynikająca z rekombinacji i mutacji, jest podstawą procesów ewolucyjnych. Prawo Hardy'ego-Weinberga opisuje teoretyczną równowagę genetyczną w populacji przy braku czynników ewolucyjnych. Specjacja, czyli powstawanie nowych gatunków, może zachodzić allopatrycznie (przez izolację geograficzną) lub sympatrycznie (bez bariery geograficznej). Ewolucja zbieżna (konwergencja) prowadzi do podobnych cech u niespokrewnionych organizmów, podczas gdy ewolucja rozbieżna (dywergencja) prowadzi do zróżnicowania cech u spokrewnionych organizmów. Analiza ewolucji człowiekowatych pokazuje stopniowy rozwój cech kluczowych dla naszego gatunku.
