Q17 of 55 Page 1

Define the term 'Evolution'. "Evolution cannot be equated with progress." Justify this statement.

Evolution is defined as a process of gradual changes which takes in primary organisms over millions of years in which new species are produced.

Evolution cannot be equated with progress. This statement is not justified because it can’t be said that the older designs before the evolution were not efficient. Evolution has led to the complexity of the body over the time but the older designs were equally efficient and it is provable with the example of the bacteria which came before the evolution and is still surviving in the present conditions. Bacteria inhabits themselves in hot springs, deep oceans ad ice in Antarctica. The body of the Human beings have been designed with the environmental conditions and their existence is supported.
