. A population of red deer were trapped on an island off of England during the last interglacial period. Within 6,000 years, the population evolved from a mean weight of 200 kg to a mean weight of 36 kg. The generation time of red deer is 5 years and the narrow sense heritability of body weight is 0.5. What is the rate of evolutionary change (in Darwins)?

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
