What makes Alfred Wallace an important figure in evolutionary biology?     He independently realized that evolution happens and also worked out natural selection as a mechanism to explain it     He discovered where new variations come from     He discovered evolutionary drift     He helped to figure out how heritability works

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
