Evolution can be defined as the changes in the genetic composition of a population with the passage of each generation. It can also be defined as the gradual unfolding of the organism from pre-existing organisms through change since the beginning of life.The origin of life is very much associate with evolution.

Evolution is change over time. Under this broad definition, evolution can refer to a variety of changes that occur over time—the uplifting of mountains, the erosion of riverbeds, or the creation of new species. The term biological evolution is a more specific type of evolution.

Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA andproteins.

Genetic drift refers to the fact that variations in gene frequencies within populations can occur by chance rather than by natural selection. Random genetic drift may be an important mechanism in evolutionary change in small or isolated populations. In a small population not all the alleles which are representative of that species may be present. Chance events such as the premature accidental death prior to mating of an organism which is the sole possessor of a particular allele from the population. For example, if an allele has a frequency of 1% in a population of 1 000 000 then 10 000 individuals will possess that allele. In a population of 100 only one individual would possess that allele so the probability of loosing that allele by chance is much greater.
Just as it is possible for an allele to disappear from a population, it is equally possible for it to drift to a higher frequency simply by chance. Random genetic drift, as its name implies is unpredictable. In a small population it can lead to the extinction of the population or result in the population becoming even better adapted to the environment or more widely divergent from the parental. In due course, this may lead to the origin of a new species by natural selection. Genetic drift is thought to have been a significant factor in the origin of new species on islands and in other reproductively isolated populations.
Classification can play a great role in studying evolution as organisms sharing greater similarity are grouped together and comparing them among themselves and other organisms can result in better understanding of evolution of organism or group of organisms.
