Abstract
Evolution is a vast subject, so what I shall do in the space available is to provide in Chapter 3 a summary of the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin, and in Chapter 4 some of the principal evidence in support of this theory. For more detailed information on both these topics, you should look at the books on evolution in the Further Reading at the end of each Chapter.
