I hope this topic is still on the Definition of Evolution
​
Seems since I found this sight today I have been reading this topic most of the day at work and now that I'm home...well I cant find the post I was going to reply to but here is Q's definition:
​
quote:
Evolution is the process that, at the smallest level, changes the beneficial or non-beneficial traits ( genetics ) of a given group. Changing that group from its original blue-print to something either significantly or slightly different in an attempt to adapt, improvise or overcome to their soundings.
​
from reading this forum today I know I'm not as educated as most of you, but based of the premise ( I assume ) of the topic, that is my response.
​
Edited by Q, : No reason given.

...there is no mention of the time scale of these changes -- do they occur in individuals (no) or are they realized in descendant populations (yes)?
​
you know, I was making dinner with my wife and kids and I thought " oh, I forgot to add anything about a time pierod! " but by the time we were done eating we were watching a movie and I forgot again until this morrning at work
​
so I would add "Evolution is the process that, at the smallest level and over time,..."
