【Development】 , 【evolution】 are comparable when they mean growth from a lower to a higher state.
【Development】 stresses the bringing out of the hidden or latent possibilities in a thing whether through growth and differentiation and therefore through a series of natural stages or through the exercise of human energy, ingenuity, or art <the 【development】 of an industry).
【Evolution】 , on the other hand, stresses an orderly succession of events or of living things, each growing out of the preceding yet marked by changes which transform it and give it a particular identity and usually a more elaborate or more advanced character.
【Development】 is appropriately used when the emphasis is on the realization of the full possibilities of a particular thing through natural or artificial means, and 【evolution】 when the stress is on transformations which occur in a type, class, or order of things, the individual instances of which retain a likeness to the parent but manifest differences especially in the direction of complexity and progress.
