The concept of evolution refers to a change in circumstances that leads to a new form of a particular topic or analysis.
This term refers to a continuous change in the genetic material of a cell, which can occur as a result of exposure to
mutagens or errors in the copying of genetic material in the process of cell division (US Government, 2023).
The first knowledge has been creationism, a simple interpretation of the Bible that explains the origin of the species through
God or some similar figure that created them. (Editorial team, Etecé., 2021)
daily evolution
"Everyday evolution" does not seem to be a widely used or defined term in the scientific literature. It is important to note
that evolution refers to changes in biological features over time, and that these changes can take place on much larger time
scales than everyday events. It is possible that it refers to the idea that everyday life is an integral part of the evolutionary
process, since changes in behavior and culture can influence natural selection and adaptation over time. In summary,
although the term "everyday evolution" is not commonly used or defined, the role of everyday life in evolution is an important
research topic in the field of evolutionary biology and may be relevant to understanding the relationship between
behavior human and natural selection.
The term of daily life is important for social and cultural construction. The importance of local history studies in
understanding daily life is also highlighted, since they help to reconstruct events and social processes through microhistory.
Uribe Fernández, ML, (2014). Daily life as a space for social construction. Historical Processes, (25), 100-113.
Everyday evolution refers to the processes of change and adaptation that occur in the daily life of living organisms, such as
natural selection, resistance to disease, acquisition of new skills and behaviors, and adaptation to urban and rural environments.
Evolution plays an important role in many aspects of everyday life, from health and medicine to technology and urban
planning. (Fernando. Rocchi, 2021)
biological evolution
When we talk about biological evolution or simply evolution, we refer to a series of bodily changes, which are intuited in
the genetic information and, therefore, can be transmitted to offspring, that populations of living beings experience over many
generations. . This process took place over billions of years on our planet, giving rise to what we know today as
species: genetically related groups of living beings capable of reproducing among themselves. It is thought that we share a
common ancestor with them, that is, a species that diversified and started both them and us, about 13 million years ago. As
will be seen, evolution is nothing more than the effect of the struggle between species for survival and a better adaptation to the
environment, giving rise to new species as their physical and genetic differences become increasingly pronounced.

Biodiversity
, Machine Translated by Google
Biodiversity or biological diversity is the great variety of ecosystems, and of different species integrating
each one of them, that exist on the planet, as a result of millions of years of evolution. Therefore,
the different natural regions of the Earth have different margins of biodiversity, reaching very
high rates near the equator, in jungle habitats.
Importance of biodiversity
Biodiversity is one of the great treasures of our planet. The diversity and amount of life available is
such that only a fragment of all animal or plant species is known. It is impossible to know what is
hidden among the immensity of planetary life. On the other hand, biodiversity is necessary for
the complex biological and biogeochemical cycles that occur on our planet. Impoverishing life on
the planet has a direct impact, whether we can appreciate it or not, on the quality of all life, including
human beings. Threats to biodiversity It is we, as a species, who are impoverishing more and more
rapidly the biodiversity of our planet, endangering ourselves in the long run.
Biodiversity and evolution
Biodiversity is the result of evolution. As we know thanks to Charles Darwin and his later followers,
the species of living beings have their origin in the adaptation of pre-existing species to new living
conditions, physically or socially moving away from their ancestors until the difference becomes so
great that they become It is about two completely different species.
Measures to conserve biodiversity The
protection of biodiversity is a task that human beings must assume as their own, which in many ways
will require a reconsideration of the way in which different economic activities are carried out.

Human evolution
Human evolution is the process of biological evolution of the human species from its ancestors
to the present, including all the biological, cultural and social changes that the species goes
through until it reaches its current form.
Human evolution or hominization is the name given to the gradual and historical process of
biological change from the most primitive ancestors of the human being until the appearance of
our species as we know it today. This process began 5 to 7 million years ago on the African
continent, with the emergence of the common ancestor between humans and chimpanzees.
Before us there were numerous species that are now extinct but that present numerous
physical, biological and behavioral similarities. The study of this process was given thanks to
archaeology, paleontology, geology and other similar sciences, but above all thanks to the emergence
of the studies of Charles Darwin and the Theory of the origin of species, which came to supplant
creationism or the spontaneous generation as the best human explanation regarding its origins.
(Editorial team, Etecé., 2021)
The long process of evolution
Human evolution is understood as the long process of change that occurred in history from a
common primate ancestor and from which our own species derived, what we know today as
"modern human". Based on scientific evidence, it tries to show how the physical and behavioral
aspects that characterize us as a species have resulted from this evolution from that common
ancestor about 5 million years ago.
