The Dawn of the New World

Evolution: a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state . (Merriam-Websters)

Evolution has occured in this world since the first organism that ever began life billions of years ago. From that first cell of life, evolution has allowed it to become what we see today, which are domains of different types of species and organisms. Organisms now in this world span for billions which include animals, protists, plants, and other types of organisms which we might not even know of. Our characteristics have differed through the ages and all species are different in a variety of ways. This whole complex evolution combined with the life cycle has allowed for the creation of true life for many organisms.
