Evolution

1. In biology: Descent with modification. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.

2. In everyday speech: A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
1. Darwin's theory of evolution does for biology what quantum mechanics does for physics.

2. It is interesting to note the evolution in computers over the years.

Annie, Felisa, and Peter were discussing the night that Charlotte got petrifurious at Peter for jumping out of the bushes along the dark walkway next to their house. She cried the whole time she whaled on him, and he was laughing so hard he couldn't get her to stop until he was pissterical. Annie realized that in their rush to define the event, they had discovered evolutionary vogabulary.
