Gould was passionate about evolutionary
biology, which studies how life forms change over time. π
He helped people understand how genes, the tiny instructions in our bodies, play a role in evolution! π§¬
He emphasized that chance, or luck, is very important in evolution. Sometimes, random events can change the course of life and create new species! π
This idea helped scientists think differently about how life evolves. Gould wanted everyone to appreciate the wonder and complexity of life on Earth! π
