Evolution

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
This aricle concerns the scientific concept of evolution. For the novel by John Peel, see separate entry.

Evolution is the development and change of organisms over time, closely linked to mutation and natural selection. On Earth a Human scientist, Charles Darwin, "discovered" and popularized the idea.
