With the help of any two suitable examples explain the effect of anthropogenic actions on organic evolution.

Two examples that explain the effect of anthropogenic actions on organic evolutions are:

(i) Industrial melanism: It was due to the industrialization. The smoke and soot coming out of industries caused the bark of the trees to become darker and so dark-coloured moths were selected over the white-coloured moths.

(ii) Excessive use of herbicides and pesticides has resulted in selection of resistant varieties in very short time span.
