The idea of 'Natural selection' as the fundamental process of evolutionary change was reached

Question

Filo · Accepted Answer

The theory of evolution by natural selection was proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in 1859. They had a contrasting view about the fact that the species with useful adaptations to the environment are more likely to survive and produce progeny than are those with less useful adaptations, thus the frequency of useful adaptation increases generation after generation. The limited resources available in an environment promotes competition in which organisms of the same or different species struggle to survive. In the competition for food, space, and mates that occurs, the less well-adapted individuals must die or fail to reproduce, and those who are better adapted do survive and reproduce. Hence option D is correct.
