Darwin hypothesized that favorable traits spread through a species by a process he called "natural selection."
- Natural selection is a key concept in Darwin's theory of evolution. It proposes that individuals within a population possessing advantageous traits that are better suited to their environment have a higher chance of surviving, reproducing, and passing on those beneficial traits to their offspring. Over time, these advantageous traits become more prevalent in the population, while less advantageous or unfavorable traits are gradually eliminated. This process leads to the adaptation of species to their environments, as favorable traits become more common in the population through successive generations.
