Natural Selection and Adaptation TERMS HISTORY
... A general definition of an adaptation is any trait (structural, behavioral) that contributes to the survival and reproductive success of the individual or social group that has it. A trait improving the survival and reproduction (i.e., the fitness) of its possessor is thought to be an adaptive trait ...

Problem : How does the natural selection work
... If some individuals are fleeter than others because of differences in their genes, but the predator is so much faster that it does not matter, the specie won’t evolve. In addition, natural selection can only choose among existing varieties in a population. It might be very useful for polar bears to ...
