That IS evolution by the plain meaning of the word.It may not be Darwinian Evolution)(notice the caps) or Punctuated Equilibrium Evolution, but it is evolution all the same. Evolution is change, temporary, contingent, or permanent, or slight, by implication not sudden or catastrophic. I do not surrender the language to the Left or to some clique of professors.

Well if you want to not sound like a knownothing - when you speak of gravity in physics you wont be saying that unless something is “important” it has no “gravity” - similarly when speaking of evolution in a biological context - it doesn't just mean change - it has a specific meaning - that of change in the DNA of a population.

So while you might say that Asians moving to America and raising their children on a Western diet is an “evolution” (change) in how tall Asian Americans are - it would be absolutely incorrect to say that this was a result of biological evolution (change in the DNA of a population).
