Evolution Garden Entrance

The Evo garden was started with the idea of it being a teaching area. So we will talk a lot about Evolution which is a simple idea but can actually be very complicated to grasp. Evolution is based on the process of adaptation. Adaptation is the way in which an organism will change to better suit its changing environment. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand how can someone that is a moss (for instance) suddenly not be a moss anymore? Now it is a fern? Well when I talk about the Process of evolution the important word to note is “Process” . These adaptations can sometimes take a very long time. And many changes in a organism (which we call a mutation) may not work! Then that species may die out and not pass on its genetic material to the next species. So, not all adaptations are very successful.
