Answer

  • The biodiversity we see today is the story of evolution, i.e. evolution is considered as a process, that has resulted in various life forms.
  • If we talk about the life on earth, evolution is considered as a consequence of the process, called natural selection.
  • It is difficult to decide, whether evolution and natural selection are processes or end results of some unknown processes.
