@Eulimnadian I apologize if that response was a bit technical! In simpler terms, stochastic events (random occurrences) can impact evolution through genetic drift, which involves random changes in the frequency of certain genes in a population. These changes can be influenced by chance events like natural disasters or population size reductions, leading to shifts in genetic diversity and potentially new genetic traits over time. Essentially, random events play a role in shaping how species evolve! Let me know if you have any more questions or need further clarification. 😄
