- For the novel of the same name, see Evolution (novel).
Evolution is the development and change of organisms over time, closely linked to mutation and natural selection (through a long-term process of adaptation). On Earth a Human scientist, Charles Darwin, "discovered" and popularised the idea. (BFA: Bloodtide)
Notable instances
- Davros wished to determine the ultimate evolution of the Kaled race and to direct it. The result of this was the Daleks. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks)
- Light and the Reverend Ernest Matthews separately found the concept abhorrent, though for different reasons, the former because of his love of stasis and hatred of change, the latter because he found it repugnant to have evolved from monkeys. (DW: Ghost Light)
- After escaping the Battle of Canary Wharf, Dalek Sec and the Cult of Skaro arrived in 1930s New York. Dalek Sec wished to determine the ultimate evolution of the Daleks which resulted in the Human-Dalek. (DW: Daleks in Manhattan / Evolution of the Daleks)
- Professor Richard Lazarus had created a machine that rejuvenated himself, or in simpler terms he made himself younger. This transformation also accidentally unlocked a rejected option for human evolution, making him a scorpion-like mutant. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment)
