this definition is so weak that even a compass or every other tool fall in it. ex. no human can sense where the north is, but with a compass is easy as fuck
no.
evolution is the survival of the most optimized individuals.
adaptation is the "modification" of an individual in response of the environment
evolution doesnt work on the individual, but on the chain of offsprings.

that evolution works on chain of individuals and their survival
adaptation works on individuals and its a modification
they are fundamentally different
then the fact that i used adapted, and not adaptation is relevant (even if this should be surely more clear in italian with our use of participle)
Wait. Are you trying to say adapted and adaption are something different?

Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
No and no.
Evolution is chance in action. A mutation that happens to adapt an individual better to their environment, therefore giving it a better chance at creating offspring and thus changing the species as a whole, offspring by offspring.
The ones that through evolution don't adapt better to their environment are just killed off really fast and therefore you never see/hear/read about them.
Not really sure how I can explain it, but in English the two words are not really fundamentally different.
No, not at all what I'm saying. But if earths temps start raising humans that can handle heat better will survive long and pass those genes onto the next generation IE evolve. (granted evolution generally takes many generations.)
You seem to be using word and not really understand what you are saying. Here try this. Explain evolution without using adapt or mutate.

That is impossible, you can't explain evolution without mutation. And you seem to just won't understand that mutation can go both ways if it's positive for the individual it increases their chance at finding mating partners if it's negative it decreases their chance.

What? Earths temps start raising humans?! <- What is that supposed to mean?

Where did I say it can't be negative?
My god man. Are you that dense you can't infer I simply missed a , there? I mean Christ how do you survive on the internet if you need perfect punctuation to understand something?

And we are slowly evolving/adapting to survive this stuff better. it's why some of us are white and some are black. insert other adaptions of humans races to better survive their climate.

Sorry, English isn't my first language so it's sometimes still confusing. Anyway, you almost got it, apart from the earths temps raising doesn't trigger human becoming better at handling heat but the ones handling heat better already will survive.
So the trigger in your example does fuck all for evolution, it's just the thing that kills off those that aren't evolved.
I need to remember this more often and I apologize for coming off rude.
Maybe not current heat, but it triggers it so they may be able to survive higher temps later on.
Thats how evolution works. A mutation happens that better allows them to survive their current conditions, they then live longer to pass those genes on to more of it's species.

Ah don't worry about it.
No, it triggers nothing. They either survive higher temps if they are evolved to survive higher temps or they will go the way of the dodo just as the ones that already didn't survive the current heat.
Yes, but again, the mutation isn't triggered, it's a failure that happens to increase the chances of surviving. It's also not a guarantee, if a mutation happens that lets one person breathe underwater but that person is living nowhere near water and never creates offspring that quite awesome mutation just ceases to exist.

That is simply wrong, species went extinct because none of them were evolved enough to survive the changing conditions. A species can't by means of evolution adapt itself to changing conditions, they either already are adapted to these changes, some of them are adapted which suddenly makes them more likely to finding mating partners, or they go extinct.
Carnivores are still around, what are you talking about?
