Evolution Might Not Be as Random as We Thought, New Study Finds
The basics of evolution are pretty straightforward to grasp: organisms better equipped to survive and reproduce tend to have the advantage over others.
AI Summary
A new study challenges the view that evolution proceeds purely by random chance, suggesting underlying patterns may guide species’ development. Researchers describe evolution as a three‑dimensional fitness landscape, where peaks represent organisms best adapted for survival and reproduction. The work implies that the positioning of species on this landscape is influenced by more than random variation alone.
