Well, putting it in my own words - the gradual change of a species over generations that is influenced by that species' environment and/or mutations in a species' genome.

Living organisms consume and multiply to further the continuation of their kind. If we could live forever, there would be no need to consume and reproduce. Organisms either develop a means of reproduction (budding, autogamy, mitosis, meiosis, and allogamy) or die out.
