Mechanisms of Evolution
Natural selection is a fundamental mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin. It occurs when individuals with traits better suited to their environment have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. These advantageous traits become more common in the population over generations. For instance, in a population of beetles, those with colours that blend in with their environment are less likely to be eaten by predators, thus having a higher chance of passing on their genes. This process leads to the gradual adaptation of organisms to their surroundings.
