How did an ape turn into a man? Evolution! Evolution means the process of developing by gradual changes. Same way you went from eating with your fingers at age three to using a knife and fork by thirteen.
Evolution usually refers to a process that produces a better or more complex form. In biology, it is the natural process by which animals and plants develop from their original or primitive state to their modern or specialized state. This noun is from Latin evolutio "an unrolling or opening," from evolvere "to roll out or forth," from the prefix e- "out" plus volvere "to roll."
