Abstract
Evolutionary escape is the process whereby a population under sudden changes in the selective pressures acting upon it try to evade extinction by evolving from previously well-adapted phenotypes to those that are favoured by the new selective pressure. This evolutionary process is driven by gene mutations. Some examples are: (1) viruses evading anti-microbial therapy, (2) cancer cells escaping from chemotherapy, (3) parasite infecting a new host, and also (4) species trying to invade a new ecological niche.
