Darwins theory of natural selection
Darwin's theory of natural selection explains how species evolve over time. Individuals within a species have small differences in traits, some of which may give them advantages in survival and reproduction. These beneficial traits are more likely to be passed on to future generations. Over many generations, this process leads to populations gradually changing, adapting to their environment. Natural selection is the mechanism that drives this process, shaping species to maximize their chances of survival and reproduction in their specific habitats.
