How it's used
Primarily used in scientific or biological contexts, this term is also frequently applied metaphorically to describe the development of technology, ideas, or even personal growth. Unlike the more casual 變, which implies a simple change, 進化 carries a strong connotation of progress or adaptation toward a more complex or efficient state.
Examples
This creature took a long time to evolve into this form.
How do you think humans will evolve in the future?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe simple changes in appearance or mood, as it specifically implies a process of biological or systemic development over time. Using it to describe a person changing their clothes or haircut will sound unnatural.
