Are You as Smart as a Second Year University Student? Q2

 
Here's another question from my test.

In Icons of Evolution Jonathan Wells defines evolution as,

Biological evolution is the theory that all living things are modified descendants of a common ancestor that lived in the distant past.

Does this definition differ from the one you learned in biology class? Does it differ from the definitions of evolution commonly found in textbooks? Why does Wells choose this definition over any others?
