The Theory of Natural Selection

Charles Darwin was the first one to come up with the theory of Natural Selection. Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is when More individuals are produced each generation that can survive. Phenotype variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable. Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive. Like when a male animal with wide paws mates with a animal with long claws, those traits are passed onto the next generation, and maybe the new generation will have new traits. Hopefully, the next young animal will mate again and pass on some of his/her traits into their offspring. Sometimes, the animal doesn't look anything like their parents, and when the genes are split, sometimes they mutate. This creates an animal with more survival tools in their arsenal, making them more likely to survive in the wild. Now, they will pass on their traits to their young, and them their cells might mutate too, and allowing that species of animals to thrive.
