vague, unclear - what is its role in Evolution?
{{rewrite|Its role in [[Evolution]] is expressed vaguely. How does natural selection "help" bring a new species into existence? Merely by weeding out the "mistakes"?}}
'''Natural selection''' is a principle that was 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.
