Evolution by natural selection is slow but can be observed in certain situations. How to spot evolution in real time: Artificial selection – manipulation by humans such as breeding dogs or growing corn. Repro-rate – rate of reproduction. Stochastic Event: unexpected disaster like a volcano eruption or tornado. (Research geological time) LIVING THINGS: Biology – Study of living things. Living things – all the organisms descended from a single-celled ancestor. * Characteristics:
