evolution - Answers - The process of change that has transformed life on earth from its
earliest beginnings to the diversity of organisms living today.
biology - Answers - scientific study of life
emergent properties - Answers - New properties that arise with each step upward in the
hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity
increases.
