The Darwinian Theory of Evolution

The Darwinian Theory of Evolution explains how species change over time through natural selection. Organisms produce more offspring than necessary, leading to competition for resources. Variations within a species—some advantageous—make certain individuals more likely to survive and reproduce. These beneficial traits become more common in the population over generations. Over long periods, this process can lead to the development of new species. Essentially, nature "selects" the traits that help organisms thrive in their environment, driving the continuous evolution of life on Earth.
