Definition: Abiogenesis is a biological process by which a new species emerges from a pre-existing species through genetic mutation or natural selection. It can refer to both the physical evolution of an organism into a different species, as well as its evolution over time from one species to another. In this context, it typically describes a change in an organism's genetic makeup that leads to an individual being able to produce offspring with characteristics distinct from their parents. Abiogenesis is often described in relation to evolutionary biology or paleontology.
