Understanding the Food Chain and Natural Selection
... The term “natural selection” was introduced by Charles Darwin in his 1859 book The Origin of Species. In the book, he described natural selection as the process by which species adapt to their environment. In the process, favorable heritable traits become more common in successive generations of a p ...
