What book did Charles Darwin write?
The origin of species
Darwin observed that-
-Individuals in a population vary in their traits, many of which are heritable
-More offspring are produced than survive, and competition is inevitable
-Species generally suit their environment
Darwin inferred that-
-Individuals that are best suited to their environment are more likely to survive
and reproduce
-Over time, more individuals in a population will have the advantageous traits
natural selection
the environment "selects" for the propagation of beneficial traits
Natural selection is not
survival of the fittest
