The process that Darwin described as "descent with modification" is the process of evolution.

"Descent with modification" is one of the fundamental ideas behind Darwin's theory of evolution. According to Darwin, the characteristics of an organism are inherited. Offspring with inherited characteristics which allows them to compete best with the limited resources in the environment will survive. Organisms will pass the traits providing an advantage to survive and reproduce to the next generations. Over time and generations, the traits providing reproductive advantage will become common among the polpulation. This will lead to change in populations over generations in a process called the "descent with modification".

In biology, a diphyodont is an animal that has two different sets of teeth, this often means the animal has a set of baby teeth that are later replaced by permanent teeth, this occurs in most mammals including humans. Additionally, diphyodont differ from other types of animals that have either only one set of teeth (monophyodonts), for example, toothed whales or change their teeth permanently (polyphyodont), for example, crocodiles. Thus, mammals are diphyodont because "they have two successive sets of teeth including milk teeth and permanent adult teeth".
