An example of Evolution can be with a bacteria. They multiply, but in some instances, there's a mutation involved while multiplying. If we shoot antibiotics at these bacteria, the majority will die, but those who experienced the mutation will still live on because the antibiotic medicine only worked on a certain bacteria, which were the ones that actually got killed. Hence, that mutated bacteria makes that species of bacteria evolve a resistance to those antibiotics. Of course, you might have already known that.
