"The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation for how all living things on Earth, including plants and animals, have changed and diversified over time. It proposes that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor, and that over many generations, organisms have evolved and adapted to their environments through a process called natural selection.
Natural selection is the idea that certain traits or characteristics that are beneficial for an organism's survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on to their offspring. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in a population, while less advantageous traits become less common or disappear altogether.
For example, imagine a population of birds living in an area with different types of seeds. Some birds may have beaks that are better suited for cracking open hard seeds, while others may have beaks that are better suited for eating soft seeds. The birds with beaks that are better suited for their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to their offspring, while the birds with less suitable beaks are less likely to survive and reproduce.
Through this process of natural selection, over millions of years, organisms have evolved and adapted to become better suited to their environments, resulting in the vast diversity of life we see today." -ChatGPT
