The Free Dictionary at;

Evolution - definition of evolution by The Free Dictionary

defines biological evolution thus;

3. Biology
a. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.
b. The historical development of a related group of organisms; phylogeny.

Is this succinct?
