#lineage transformation
- Anagenesis — A macroevolutionary mechanism or process characterized by the linear and progressive evolution of a single phyletic lineage, wherein an entire species undergoes structural and genetic transformations accumulated over time, gradually transforming into a new species without branching. This evolutionary phenomenon, opposite to cladogenesis, involves the complete replacement of the old gene pool through continuous adaptation to the environment, leading to the emergence of superior morphological and physiological traits.
