Explanation
Specie is a population which has the ability to interbreed among each other in nature. All living things are classified in a specific order, called the taxonomic hierarchy. Specie is the lowest category. In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. It is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another in nature and produce fertile offspring.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
