Natural selection is the gradual process by which biological traits become more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with the their environment. It is a key mechanism of evolution. This simply means that stronger traits will pass through and weak ones will not. One person who took this theory to heart and proved it was Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin acquired many facts to support this. One of the problems he faced was proving natural selection in a short period of time. He wanted an example that could be seen in real time. Charles Darwin didn't know it, but natural selection was happening in England. One of the examples of pigs in England was the peppered moth. When the Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, tons and tons of soot were deposited around industrial areas. The soot would then turn lighter colored rocks, trees, and other objects into a dark color. For the revolution the mouth was a much lighter color and blended in with everything light. When the soot began to fall, the moths were easily visible. Make the moths easy to see, the birds and other organisms that eat them found them with little effort. Soon dark moths were the only ones capable of transmitting his traits. This then caused the numbers of dark-colored moths to increase while the lighter colors as the numbers decreased (biological corner.com) Other examples of natural selection exist in places like the Sand Hills of Nebraska. Nebraska is home to a deer mouse that can evolve very quickly. Most deer mice are a darker tan color. The deer mouse is dark in color because it lives in the woods. The dark colored trait walked in the woods. That… middle of paper… what happened was that this caused hominids to become more intelligent and then evolve to use tools, make fires, hunt and trap, grow crops, and build homes. This goes back to Darwin's theory of natural selection. If they hadn't evolved to survive the cold, then they might have died before they could get through there and so the species would become extinct. Some people believe that the Bible disproves evolution because it simply says that God created everything the way it is, and has always been that way. I will not declare that the Bible is wrong because I believe in God but I also believe in evolution. I don't think things evolved from insects, but I believe something divine like God created a species that would evolve from what it was. I think it's also possible that animals evolve much like humans, but they weren't created by something divine
