At The Edge — Polar bear in Svalbard How did polar bears evolve exactly? Well, according to current research, polar bears evolved from brown bears that ventured onto the frozen ocean. Their goal was to hunt after marine mammals during the great final period of glaciation. Through natural selection, the palest bears with the most fat would have had the highest chance of survival. Therefore, they would reproduce. In coastal Arctic Alaska, grizzly bears have gorged on whale carcasses. Indeed sometimes in the company of polar bears. Interbreeding was documented as well.
