evolution

出典:『Wiktionary』 (2012/03/04 11:11 UTC 版)

語源

From Latin ēvolūtiō (“the act of unrolling, unfolding or opening (of a book)”), from ēvolūtus, perfect passive participle of ēvolvō (“unroll, unfold”), from ē (“out of”), short form of ex, + volvō (“roll”).

名詞

evolution (複数形 evolutions)

1. (general) gradual directional change especially one leading to a more advanced or complex form; growth; development
   • 1976, Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene:

     There are some examples of cultural evolution in birds and monkeys, but […] it is our own species that really shows what cultural evolution can do.

   • 2005, Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth:

     Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.

2. (biology) The change in the genetic composition of a population over successive generations.

   1976, Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene:

   [Some books have] made the erroneous assumption that the important thing in evolution is the good of the species (または the group) rather than the good of the individual (または the gene).

3. (mathematics) The extraction of a root from a quantity.
4. (military) One of a series of ordered movements.
5. (dance, sports) A turning movement of the body.

   1869, Anon., Miss Langley's Will:

   It was a critical instant: the pirouette -- it would fail, she feared. … the rapid whirl achieved in exact time, the whole evolution executed to perfection.

   1825, Theodore Edward Hook, Sayings and Doings: Passion and principle:

   … as he beheld the tenfold pirouette of a lovely girl, which presented to the public eye the whole of her form and figure; … to praise the dexterity and ease with which the unfortunate and degraded creature had performed the ungraceful evolution, the only merit of which, is the gross exposition of person, at which modesty shudders …

   1863, Knightley Willia Horlock, The master of the hounds:

   "Look now, that pirouette -- my stars! how Beauchamp would stare to see his darling perform such an evolution!"

   1869, William Clarke, The boy's own book:

   By this operation each foot will describe an arc or segment of a circle. … This evolution is performed sometimes on one foot, sometimes on the other …

Evolution (also known as biological or organic evolution) is the change over time in one or more inherited traits found in populations of organisms. Inherited traits are particular distinguishing characteristics, including anatomical, biochemical or behavioural characteristics, that are passed on from one generation to the next. Evolution may occur when there is variation of inherited traits within a population. The major sources of such variation are mutation, genetic recombination and gene flow. Evolution has led to the diversification of all living organisms from a common ancestor, which are described by Charles Darwin as "endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful".
