| Evolution: Evolution is the process by which populations of living organisms change over generations. It is driven by natural selection, which is the process by which organisms with traits that are better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, this can lead to the emergence of new species. See also Selection, Mutation, Species, Survival, Fitness, Darwinism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin on Evolution - Dictionary of Arguments
Gould II 243 Evolution/Human/Teilhard/Gould: Teilhard's bestseller was "Le phénomène humain" (1). Speculations about evolution, long suppressed by the Church. They were published after his death in 1955. (German: Der Mensch im Kosmos) (2). The book became a cult book of the 60s. Teilhard thesis: Teilhard believed that evolution was going in a certain direction. In order to understand the essence of this movement, we do not have to go to the source, but rather to the final point that people look at. Life has been moving in our direction since the beginning. Increasing dominance of mind over matter. Even the transformation of matter into psyche. We are inseparably part of nature, because nature longs for us from the very beginning. Teilhard: Evolution follows a certain pre-determined path, e. g. it is not a system of branches, no network, but a bundle that is bound together at its origin and goes in the same main direction. All related species are parallel genders, which become "better" in their mind-matter ratio. .... evolution dissolves into innumerable lines that diverge at such great distances that they look parallel....
