The Theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin is well-known. He altered our understanding of the
world's creation and evolution. Darwin's general theory assumes the emergence of life from non-life and
emphasizes a "descent with modification" that is completely naturalistic (undirected). That is,
sophisticated species organically evolve from simpler forebears over time. In a nutshell, as random
genetic mutations arise within an organism's genetic code, the advantageous mutations are kept
because they help the organism survive — a process known as adaptive evolution.

“Natural Selection” is a term used to describe the process. While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is
a recent concept, the evolutionary mindset is as old as time. Anaximander and other ancient Greek
thinkers proposed the evolution of life from non-life. Man's evolutionary descent from an animal.
Charles Darwin simply added a new wrinkle to an old philosophy: a convincing explanation.

"Natural Selection" is a mechanism. Its purpose is to conserve and accumulate little items.
genetic alterations that are beneficial. Natural selection preserves a functional advantage that allows a
species to compete more effectively in the environment. Domestic breeding's naturalistic counterpart is
natural selection. Human breeders have selected people to breed over the years, causing enormous
changes in domestic animal populations. Over time, breeders gradually remove unwanted features.
Natural selection, on the other hand, steadily removes inferior species.
