Darwinian Biological Evolution Process

A Darwinian Biological Evolution Process is a population-level selection-driven biological process that generates species diversity through heritable variation, differential reproduction, and natural selection over geological time.

• AKA: Natural Selection Process, Evolutionary Process, Descent with Modification Process.
• Context:
  • It can typically generate Darwinian Genetic Variations through darwinian mutations, darwinian recombinations, and darwinian gene flows.
  • It can typically impose Darwinian Selection Pressures via darwinian environmental challenges and darwinian resource competitions.
  • It can typically produce Darwinian Adaptive Traits enhancing darwinian survival probabilityes and darwinian reproductive successes.
  • It can typically create Darwinian Speciation Events through darwinian reproductive isolations and darwinian genetic divergences.
  • It can typically establish Darwinian Phylogenetic Relationships connecting darwinian ancestor specieses with darwinian descendant lineages.
  • ...
  • It can often exhibit Darwinian Convergent Evolutions producing darwinian analogous structures in darwinian unrelated lineages.
  • It can often involve Darwinian Coevolution Dynamics between darwinian interacting specieses like darwinian predator-prey pairs.
  • It can often demonstrate Darwinian Sexual Selections favoring darwinian mating traits beyond darwinian survival advantages.
  • It can often undergo Darwinian Genetic Drifts causing darwinian random changes in darwinian small populations.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Microevolutionary Darwinian Biological Evolution Process to being a Macroevolutionary Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, depending on its darwinian taxonomic scale.
  • It can range from being a Gradual Darwinian Biological Evolution Process to being a Punctuated Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, depending on its darwinian change rate.
  • It can range from being a Directional Darwinian Biological Evolution Process to being a Stabilizing Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, depending on its darwinian selection mode.
  • It can range from being a Allopatric Darwinian Biological Evolution Process to being a Sympatric Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, depending on its darwinian geographic pattern.
  • It can range from being a Neutral Darwinian Biological Evolution Process to being a Adaptive Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, depending on its darwinian fitness effect.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Life Emergence Events for darwinian origin context.
  • It can connect to Genetic Information Systems for darwinian heredity mechanism.
  • It can interface with Extinction Events for darwinian selective elimination.
  • It can synchronize with Geological Time Scales for darwinian temporal framework.
  • It can relate to Collective Learning Processes for darwinian cultural parallel.

• Example(s):
  • Early Darwinian Biological Evolution Processes, such as:
    • Prokaryotic Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (3.5 Ga), developing darwinian metabolic diversitys and darwinian extremophile adaptations.
    • Endosymbiotic Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (1.5 Ga), creating darwinian eukaryotic cells with darwinian organelles.
    • Cambrian Explosion Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (540 Ma), generating darwinian body plan diversitys and darwinian phylum radiations.
  • Vertebrate Darwinian Biological Evolution Processes, such as:
    • Fish-to-Tetrapod Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (375 Ma), developing darwinian limb structures for darwinian land colonization.
    • Dinosaur Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (230-66 Ma), producing darwinian size diversitys and darwinian ecological dominance.
    • Mammalian Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (200 Ma-present), evolving darwinian warm-bloodednesses and darwinian parental care.
  • Human Darwinian Biological Evolution Processes, such as:
    • Hominin Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (7 Ma), developing darwinian bipedalisms and darwinian brain enlargements.
    • Homo Sapiens Darwinian Biological Evolution Process (300 ka), evolving darwinian language capacityes and darwinian symbolic thinking.
  • Observable Darwinian Biological Evolution Processes, such as:
    • Darwin's Finch Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, showing darwinian beak adaptations to darwinian seed sizes.
    • Peppered Moth Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, demonstrating darwinian industrial melanisms in darwinian polluted environments.
    • Antibiotic Resistance Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, evolving darwinian drug resistances in darwinian bacterial populations.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Lamarckian Evolution Theory, which proposes acquired characteristic inheritances unlike darwinian biological evolution processes.
  • Intelligent Design Hypothesis, which invokes purposeful creations rather than natural selections of darwinian biological evolution processes.
  • Genetic Engineering Process, which uses artificial manipulations instead of natural variations in darwinian biological evolution processes.
  • Cultural Evolution Process, which transmits learned behaviors rather than genetic traits of darwinian biological evolution processes.
