Evolution: New World

The diversity of living organisms inhabiting our planet is astonishing. According to the theory of evolution, random mutations occur all the time, granting new traits to animals and plants. These traits are then tested through natural selection. Animals with beneficial traits propagate more successfully than others, expand their habitat areas, and effectively protect themselves against predators and unfavorable conditions. Such species dominate the ecosystem, while poorly adapted animals become extinct.

Evolution: New World – Butterfly Effect

An ecosystem combines living organisms and the environment, which exist in close connection with each other. A change in any element affects the entire ecosystem, but due to its stability, equilibrium is quickly restored. Sometimes, a random event leads to the butterfly effect, an unpredictable cascade of changes that can completely transform the biosphere.
