Evolution Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Evolution explains how living things change across generations. Within any population there is variation, small differences in each trait that offspring inherit. Natural selection means the versions that aid survival get passed on more often, and over long stretches a lineage can diverge into separate forms sharing a common ancestor. The fossil record preserves that story, including the many branches that went extinct. This word puzzle gathers eleven terms.
