Solution
The unit of evolution is now known to be the population.
Explanation:
Modern evolutionary theory recognizes the population as the unit of evolution because evolution is defined as a change in allele frequency within a population over time. Although natural selection acts on individuals, the genetic changes accumulate in populations, making populations the fundamental units that evolve.
