How evolve helps humans
Evolution plays a crucial role in agriculture, particularly in the development of crops and
livestock.
Through selective breeding, humans have used principles of evolution to enhance desirable
traits such as yield, disease resistance, and growth rate. For example, the domestication of
wheat involved
selecting and breeding plants with higher grain yields and better resistance to pests.
Additionally, understanding evolution helps manage issues like antibiotic resistance in pests
and pathogens, which can impact agricultural productivity.

Our website is dedicated towards making knowledge and information about evolution accessible to all in an easy-to-understand way. We are committed to educating the common man about this very important part of science, and believe it shouldn't cost a single cent to learn and gain more knowledge.
WE PLAN ON STARTING A BLOG AS PART OF OUR WEBSITE. WE WILL CONSTANTLY BE UPDATING IT WITH NEWS, NEW DISCOVERIES, VIDEO CLIPS, OUR OPINIONS ON THINGS, PHOTOS, AND ALL THINGS EVOLUTION-RELATED! IT'LL ALSO INCLUDE A SECTION FOR USERS TO ENGAGE AND HAVE DISCUSSIONS WITH EACH OTHER, AND WE PLAN ON MAKING IT THE GO-TO PLACE FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE INTERESTED IN EVOLUTION! SO STAY TUNED FOR EXCITING STORIES Stay Tuned
