Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Evolution helps us to understand the history of life. We can view evolution as a pattern of evolutionary change and as a process as well.
The world we see, all the inanimate and animate, is only the success stories of evolution. When we describe the story of this world, we describe evolution as a process.
On the other hand, when we describe the story of life an earth, we treat evolution as a consequence of a process called natural selection. Natural selection is the outcomes of favourable variation among organisms and environment conditions.
Thus, we are still not very clear whether to regard evolution and natural selection as processes or end result of process.
