I'm going to study this at university, any advice? Edit: how important/expanding is the evolutionary aspect of biology compared to other aspects ie marine, behavioural or molecular cell? In your experience what are the prospects for an evolutionary biology post grad (employment, pay etc) I'd really appreciate a response, thanks

The selfish gene -Richard dawkins is amazing. Sorry for hijacking.

since evolution has been happening for nearly 4 billion years, and has had some time to select, is it not fair to say that certain features of life is the best suited, or fittest, no matter where the environment, providing conditions are similar to earth? if an environment similar to that where the first 'life' formed was existing, whats to say life couldn't evolve in a similar way?

Thanks for the encouragement. I am aware that it's very difficult to calculate, but 'how much' is there we simply do not know about evolution? perhaps someone at the forefront will have the best idea as to what we don't know, and the likelihood of us finding out.

Because everything is random.
