A latest research suggests that evolution is occurring four times faster than predicted by Charles Darwin

 The adaptation of different organisms to their ever-shifting environments is a continual process known as evolution. Charles Darwin, an English naturalist, elaborated on this overly simplistic understanding by proposing that species evolve as a result of natural selection, which in turn causes genetic changes in individuals that favor the survival and reproduction of traits that are similar to those that were initially present. Additionally, this meant that several species arose from a single species in an effort to adapt to the shifting environment. However, the degree to which people' genetic makeups vary plays a significant role in determining the pace at which evolution proceeds. Now, the results of some recent studies reveal that the Darwinian evolution may be taking place up to four times quicker than was previously believed. According to the findings of an examination of genetic variety, the researchers assert that there is a correlation between the amount of genetic divers
