    1. Not yet in college, but studying for computer engineering

    2. Evolution can have different meanings depends on what you're talking about. Biologically, it is a series of adaptations that allows an individual to survive in conditions in which others from the same species can't. In my point of view, we can evolve as a person, when we stop prejudging and accept all the other people the way they are. In the end, evolution is not limited to the technology we have, how good our lives are or how many brilliant things we know, but how we can live well without harming anyone, and live in peace as a humankind.

    2. My take on evolution in a generalistic sense is the alteration of elements to suit the current environment. That's a shitty sentence. Biologically, I guess it's a gradual change to adapt to physical environments for better survival. But concepts and ideas can evolve when more information is discovered or added to them. Wow, I'm not bright. Er... evolution is witnessed or proven change in response to external stimuli. It's 4am, I'm sorry.

    2. My take on evolution is survival of the fittest. The strongest species are the one's who end up at the top, and the weaker species are those who end up at the bottom. Life is full of competition. Adapting to our environments is the most efficient way to live.

    2. Evolution personally to me, it's the biological fact of a mutation given at a molecular level. The species that is affected becomes what someone might call "environmentally friendly", not the environment it self but for the survival of such species. It's a basic natural selection fact that is modified in the DNA, for the development of the very own creature. To this subject I incline my self to the Darwinism and the common relatives that we have with the apes. It's a long and peaceful process that can take thousands/millions of years but depending on the environment it self, the species will go on.
    PS. Hope this helped and good luck!

    1. Marine Biology (graduate)whooot!

    2. To me evolution is many things. In a physical aspect I believe evolution to be the selection of genetic traits over time that allows an organisms species to thrive in its environment and dominate its niche. But I also see evolution as an abstract idea. I feel the term could be applied to any type of development be it thinking, technology, cultural, and ethical. I feel when most people see the word "evolution" they immediately think of Darwins Theory, but I feel that the term has, no pun intended, evolved to encompass so much more than survival of the fittest.

    2. Evolution is the change of a species to a higher, more advantageous form.

    1) I start college next year!

    2) Evolution in its most simple form for me is a developmental and generative change which occurs gradually over a time period. This can be thought of in terms physics and chemistry - the change in the universe over time. The idea of evolution can be and is more commonly interpreted in terms of a biological change. In which species are altered beneficially, allowing them to adapt to the gradually changing environment. However, the idea of evolution is broad and isn't limited to these things. The idea of evolution can also be applied to any type of development over a time period. This could be the development of human intelligence, technology, dance .... etc.
