"Natural selection" is the process where certain traits or characteristics that make organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on those traits to future generations.
Full definition
The breed evolved through the centuries
by natural selection for its herding and guarding abilities.
Here's a quick tour — a small glimpse into the myriad examples of
natural selection in action — of two islands we visited on the same day.
Just
as natural selection operates most efficiently in a diverse population, scientific discovery thrives when scientists bring diverse perspectives and experiences to research.
The Theory of Evolution is based
on natural selection of the most adaptable member of a species, not the weakest.
In the second two days, students will learn on their own
how natural selection works through a interactive competition activity.
For example, genes for identical traits in unrelated species have evolved independently and repeatedly, suggesting that
natural selection acts in similar ways to produce parallel solutions.
«May» rather than «must,» because this depends on many factors, such as the availability of genetic variance on
which natural selection can work.
The principle of
natural selection at the cosmic level, together with chance and purpose as organizing principles, provide another way of looking at the order of the universe.
The marketplace, by driving bad ideas bankrupt and preserving good ones, acts
like natural selection in picking out effective designs.
In effect
natural selection operates upon the products of chance and can feed nowhere else; but it operates in a domain of very demanding conditions, and from this domain chance is barred.
Was there a magic moment in the evolutionary process
when natural selection gave way to culture and free will?
In the wild, animal reproduction is dictated by circumstances and the will of each animal to mate with one mate over another, this is
called natural selection.
Natural selection occurs sometimes, of course, because some types of variations are better than others, but mutation created the different types.
Using DNA collected from remains as a genetic blueprint, scientists aim to engineer extinct traits — traits that evolved by
natural selection over thousands of years — into living organisms.
= > atheists believe that the ability to believe in a god at all is the result of
natural selection preserving that random mutation in the brain.
Genetic algorithms
mimic natural selection by describing a design as if it were a genome constructed from segments.
This is a child's guide as to why there might just be a conflict of interest in some people's minds
between natural selection and religion.
Apparently
natural selection only occurs in financial markets where their campaign contributors make the big bucks.
That means that
natural selection continues to exert its influence over humans, researchers argue in a new study, one of the more ambitious to assess evolution's impact on modern humans.
In the first place, no one denies, as far as I know, that genetic mutations and
natural selection still take place in human beings.
