The evolutionary history of a species—which tells the characteristics of the various species from which it descended—together with its genealogical relationship to every other species is called its phylogeny.
For example evolutionary biology leans heavily on techniques from molecular biology to determine DNA sequences which assist in understanding the genetic variation of a population; and physiology borrows extensively from cell biology in describing the function of organ systems.
Evolutionary biology is concerned with the origin and descent of species, as well as their change over time, i.e.

 What is Evolutionary Psycholgy?
Evolutionary psychology is the approach of explaining human behavior based on the combination of evolutionary biology, anthropology, cognitive science, and the neurosciences.
Evolutionary psychology is not a specific sub field of psychology, such as the study of vision, reasoning, or social behavior.
Evolutionary psychology is the science that seeks to explain through universal mechanisms of behavior why humans act the way they do (See, Assumptions About EP to Help Guide You).

In examining the evolutionary record of bilateral symmetry from both a paleontological and molecular perspective, it has become clear to scientists that while there are potential inaccuracies in molecular estimates, the real discrepancy is a result of preservation potential in the fossil record.

 Tracking Ancient Man - Footprints   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
If, for example, a human footprint is found during the age of the dinosaurs, the evolutionary timeline is in jeopardy of collapsing as the dinosaurs became extinct about 90 million years before the introduction of man according to the theory.
Because of the evolutionary communities silence concerning these two it would appear that they have no response for their human origins.
According to the evolutionary timetable and the geological dating of strata, these prints are hundreds of millions of years old, long before humans are said to have evolved.

In the largest evolutionary study of gene sequences ever performed, researchers mined Genbank, the ever-expanding database of gene sequences maintained by the National Institutes of Health.
By comparing individual genes in pairs of species, the researchers identified 658 genes from 207 vertebrate species that had accumulated mutations at a fairly constant rate relative to one another during their evolution.

 Evolutionary Time Line
The further along we are in the evolutionary process the more we understand what we are and the more direct our solutions to the problem become.
It was Nature's way of spreading vast evolutionary reform within a mass of illiterates, or a lower qualifying population.
So Nature endowed the few, as she does over and over again in this evolutionary procession with the means and ability to overwhelm the many thus leaving them no choice except to become the slaves of industry which was the absolutely necessary evolutionary result as Humans require an economic system to sustain life.

By what is called reductionist evolutionary thinking, scientists propose that life can be reduced to the assemblage of DNA, the mixing of nucleotide rungs on the DNA ladder.
After all, that’s what evolutionary theory is, a theoretical framework based upon the assumption that life evolved slowly instead of being created rapidly.

However, in light of such an atheistic, evolutionary progressive worldview, “moral values” are at best seen as relative to individuals, communities and cultures; they lack any rationally or morally compelling universal scope.
Specifically, evolutionary mechanisms were deployed to explain how, starting from a “cosmic egg,” the universe has unfolded from hydrogen to humans, and may yet go beyond us.
