i don't think that it's

i don't think that it's appropriate to say that a novel based on another novel, an adaptation, is evolution. evolution is a process that occurs over millenia and refers observations about a scientific process. with a literary adaptation, though, a single author chooses to create a new book and he or she is inspired by an older one. this is a single decision, this is an author's reponse, so it can't be an evolution.
