Evolution and speciation

जैविक विकास और प्रजाति-निर्माण

In this Class 10 Science topic from Heredity and Evolution, students explore how inherited variations accumulate over generations and contribute to the evolution of organisms. They learn how natural selection, environmental changes, and reproductive isolation can lead to the formation of new species, or speciation. The topic also connects fossils, similarities among organisms, and other evidence to the scientific understanding of evolutionary relationships and biodiversity.
