About the Book
This book on Organic Evolution provides a modern and accessible approach to understanding the principles and progress of evolutionary biology. Spread across seven well-structured chapters, it covers essential topics ranging from the early conditions on primitive Earth to the molecular and species-level dynamics of evolution.

Chapter 1 discusses the environmental conditions crucial for the origin of life. Chapter 2 presents key evolutionary theories and the evidence supporting them. Chapter 3 focuses on population genetics and gene pool dynamics. Chapter 4 explores species concepts and modes of speciation. Chapter 5 introduces molecular evolution, emphasizing its role in phylogenetic analysis and systematics. Chapter 6 offers insights into vertebrate evolution, with a focus on primates and the evolutionary journey of Homo sapiens. The final chapter addresses the origin and evolution of angiosperms.

Written in simple language, the book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Life Sciences—including Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, and Agriculture. It is also highly beneficial for aspirants preparing for competitive exams like CSIR-NET, GATE, ICMR, IAS, IFS, and state-level civil services, offering both foundational and updated knowledge in evolutionary biology.
