The term evolution was coined by Herbert Spencer. Evolution is Descent with modification basically it is the continuous genetic variation of adaption through generations. The present-day complex living organisms have evolved from the earlier simpler form by small gradual changes over millions of years. Though on the primitive Earth, life originated by chemical evolution later on it was replaced by organic evolution. All these are orderly changes based on the plants of the past. Forms of evolutions are macroevolution, microevolution, mega evolution, coevolution, progressive evolution, and retrogressive evolution.
