Evolutionary Dynamics
Evolution is defined as changes in allele frequencies, but this perspective may overlook the significant role of environmental influences on phenotypes.

This interplay suggests that evolution is a more complex process than merely genetic changes, encompassing the dynamic relationship between organisms and their environments.In this clip
