Add "Biological Evolution" to event type in timelines

timelines historical-event event-type
Currently there is no event type in timelines for biological evolution of a species (for example, evolution of modern humans from earlier forms). I think that biological evolution might be an important type of event in many worlds and it would be beneficial for many people to have it as an option.

To answer what DMFW said. Yes, evolution is a process, but there is a moment when there is a different species. Like archaeologists can say that different human species appeared at a different moment in time

    I think this is a very good idea. The timeline events are not restricted to individual points; they can have a duration (start date-end date). So even if the event being a process were a sticking point, I don't see how this would be a problem given the timelines' current setup. :)

    Evolution isn't really an event though, it is a process and there is no specific point in time when something is one species and then next generation it is another. That's only in Pokemon. Mutation is an event. You could tag a point in time when a mutation happened, but evolution would be better characterised as an era. Just me being a bit picky... Sorry!

    could also be called "evolution" to cover level ups on a more micro scale
