Sure these two thought of it first?
'''Natural selection''' is a principle that was first proposed by [[Charles Darwin]] and Alfred Russel Wallace, who noted that organisms which were better adapted to their environment tended to survive longer and reproduce more than less well-adapted organisms. They predicted that over time favorable traits which are inheritable would become more common.

According to the [[theory of evolution]], it is through a combination of natural selection and [[mutation]] that biological complexity and adaptation arise from earlier generations of life. This view is disputed by advocates of [[Intelligent Design]]. See also [[Creationism]].
