With evolution each generation of offspring is born with a very slight change to their bodies.?

Then after some time you can see the changes with your own eyes. Yes, it takes a long long time. But how does the embryo 'know' to make changes at a cellular level?

    The embryo doesn't "know." Evolution occurs with a random mutation in the DNA that can either increase or decrease the survival of an organism. If it is beneficial, that mutation will be passed on to the next generation.
