Evolutionary biologists

Evolutionary biologists are scientists who study the processes and mechanisms of evolution, which is the change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations. Their work encompasses a wide range of topics, including the origin of species, genetic variation, natural selection, adaptation, and the evolutionary relationships among organisms. Key areas of focus for evolutionary biologists include: 1. **Mechanisms of Evolution**: Understanding how genetic mutations, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection contribute to evolutionary changes.
