Evolutionary biologist
An evolutionary biologist is a scientist who studies how life's diversity arose and changes over time, working to discover the history of life and understand evolution's causal processes.
Evolutionary biology
Evolutionary biology, also called the study of evolution or Darwinian biology, is the biological subdiscipline covering life's origin, diversification, and adaptation, built on natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow and the Modern Synthesis.
Evolutionary clustering
Evolutionary clustering is a data mining method for time-stamped data that produces one clustering per time step, balancing fit to current data against stability from the previous step.
Evolutionary computation
Evolutionary computation is a group of search and optimization techniques that mimics biological evolution, maintaining populations of candidate solutions that improve through selection, mutation, and recombination.
Evolutionary concept analysis
Evolutionary concept analysis is a qualitative research method used mainly in nursing that analyzes how a concept appears in literature to clarify its attributes, antecedents, and consequences.
Evolutionary developmental biology
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) studies how embryonic development and evolution shape each other; revived after Gould 1977 and the 1984 homeobox discovery, it underpins Extended Evolutionary Synthesis debates.
Evolutionary economics
Evolutionary economics is the branch of economics that treats the economy as an open-ended evolutionary process of variation, selection, and retention rather than convergence on equilibrium.
Evolutionary epistemology
Evolutionary epistemology, a naturalistic approach coined by Donald Campbell in 1974, applies models from evolutionary biology to knowledge, spanning the evolution of cognitive mechanisms and of scientific theories.
Evolutionary game theory
Evolutionary game theory applies game theory to evolving populations, treating payoffs as Darwinian fitness. Its central concept, the evolutionarily stable strategy, came from Maynard Smith and Price in 1973.
Evolutionary graph theory
Evolutionary graph theory is a branch of mathematical biology studying how the graph structure of a finite population changes evolutionary dynamics, introduced by Lieberman, Hauert, and Nowak in 2005.
Evolutionary history of Equisetum
The evolutionary history of Equisetum, the horsetails, shows striking morphological stasis: molecular clocks place the genus's origin in the Early Jurassic or earlier, making it the oldest living vascular plant genus.
Evolutionary history of irregular echinoids
The evolutionary history of irregular echinoids covers how heart urchins, sand dollars, and sea biscuits arose abruptly in the Early Jurassic and diversified into 60% of living echinoid species.
Evolutionary history of plants
Evolutionary history of plants: from cyanobacteria and streptophyte green algae to land plants c. 470 Ma, Silurian Cooksonia, Carboniferous coal forests, and Cretaceous angiosperm rise.
Evolutionary multiobjective optimization
Evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) is a family of population-based algorithms that use evolutionary search to approximate the Pareto optimal set of problems with several conflicting objectives in one run.
Evolutionary programming
Evolutionary programming is a family of stochastic optimization algorithms that evolves candidate solutions through mutation and selection alone, without crossover, conceived by Lawrence J. Fogel in 1960.
Evolutionary psychology
Evolutionary psychology, also known as Evo-psych, studies the human mind and behavior as adaptations shaped by natural selection, emerging as a distinct field in the late 1980s.
Evolutionary reinforcement learning
Evolutionary reinforcement learning (ERL, also written EvoRL) is a family of machine learning methods combining evolutionary algorithms with reinforcement learning to improve exploration and robustness in deep RL.
Evolutionary robotics
Evolutionary robotics is a robotics and artificial intelligence field that automatically designs robots through artificial selection, evolving controllers and body plans rather than hand-engineering them.
EvolutionaryScale
EvolutionaryScale is a biology AI company founded in 2023 by ex-Meta researchers, known for its ESM protein models and acquired by Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in 2025.
Evolv Technology
Evolv Technology is a Massachusetts-based security company whose Evolv Express walk-through system uses AI and electromagnetic sensing to screen people for weapons, sold by subscription since going public in 2021.
Evolvable hardware
Evolvable hardware applies evolutionary and other bio-inspired algorithms to create or optimize physical devices, or to let hardware adapt itself and recover from faults during operation.
Evolve (Imagine Dragons album)
Evolve is Imagine Dragons' third studio album, released June 23, 2017 on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope; produced with Alex da Kid, Joel Little, and Mattman & Robin; lighter post-depression songwriting; singles Believer and Thunder; Metascore 47.

Evolve (video game)
Evolve (2015) is Turtle Rock Studios' 4v1 asymmetric shooter published by 2K, with four hunter classes versus one player-controlled monster; sold ~2.5M copies, relaunched as free-to-play Stage 2 in 2016, servers sunset 2023, P2P restored 2024.
Evolve (WWE brand)
WWE Evolve (WWE EVOLVE) is WWE's developmental wrestling brand on Tubi, premiering March 5, 2025. It showcases Performance Center, WWE ID, and NXT talent, with Evolve men's and women's championships, below NXT in WWE's pipeline.
EVOLVE-1 trial
EVOLVE-1 (Evaluation of LY2951742 in the Prevention of Episodic Migraine 1) was a 2016-2017 phase 3 trial of galcanezumab 120 mg and 240 mg vs placebo in 858 episodic migraine patients, reducing monthly migraine days by 4.7 and 4.6 vs 2.8.
EVOLVE-2 trial
The EVOLVE-2 trial was a Phase 3, placebo-controlled trial of galcanezumab for episodic migraine prevention that enrolled 922 patients across 11 countries from 2016 to 2017.
Evolved gas analysis
Evolved gas analysis (EGA) is an analytical technique that identifies and measures volatile products released when a substance is heated under a controlled temperature program.
Evolved Packet Core
The Evolved Packet Core (EPC), originally called the SAE core network, is the packet-only core network of 4G LTE, specified by 3GPP to provide IP connectivity.
