'''Natural selection''' is a mechanism,
first proposed by [[Charles Darwin]],
by which organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those lacking those traits or possessing unfavorable traits. Over time this mechanism might allow those favorable traits which are inheritable to become more common.
According to the [[Theory of Evolution]], it is through natural selection that biological complexity and adaptation arises. This view is disputed by advocates of [[Intelligent Design]]. See also [[Creationism]].
Genetically, is the mechanism by which [[allele]] frequency within a population changes over time due to [[genetic]] [[variation]] and selection pressures. Over long periods of time natural selection may lead to evolution under the [[Darwin-Wallace theory of evolution]]
