HELP!Why some species evolved significantly over time while others did not evolved as much?

thomaster (thomaster):

Well do you know why species evolve?

OpenStudy (xanthe):

due to the environment?

thomaster (thomaster):

Yes when the environment changes, species will adapt to these changes. When will species not evolve very much?

OpenStudy (xanthe):

when the environment remains constant?But is that the only factor that cause this?

thomaster (thomaster):

When an evironmental change doesn't affect 1 specie, but does affect another specie, the first one will not evolve as much the other specie.

OpenStudy (xanthe):

oh ok tnx!

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

also in evolution by natural selection, depending on which animal we are talking here, some animals are just already equipped with the means to survive in their environment, so they have no need to evolve (i.e modern day homo sapiens)
