The process by which different species can be descended from a common ancestor. The idea is that as genes are passed from an organism to its children to its children's children, accidental modifications to the genes (errors in copying) can accumulate to such an extent that after many thousands of generations some of the descendants no longer resemble their ancestor of thousands of generations before.
