Evolutionary studies delve into the origins and history of life, and also aim to understand and predict – at molecular level – how life adapts to environmental changes, whether due to climate change, environmental toxins or other reasons. A new major international network has been established to sequence all eukaryotic organisms in the world within the next ten years. The goals of the initiative are to protect biodiversity, understand evolutionary mechanisms and processes, improve food sources, and human wellbeing and health
