Its been bugging me for years now.

But would a species not die off nearly right away for evolution to starting taking shape?

Or does the species simply manage to survive somehow in its new environment, etc. long enough to start evolving over time? As in, if this species does not evolve soon, it'll die out.

And evolution is just fascinating. I'm still trying to understand how species naturally develop new traits and what not to survive. And is it not something we can notice as it happens? Maybe its way too slow to see (I mean, some life forms took billions of years, no?)

And if you have some cool links about this and space stuff, I'd appreciate it. Been looking at space stuff all day because of the detection of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus.
