Q

Charles darwin’s theory of evolution.

A

Drawing saw that organisms produce more offspring than can survive. The offspring vary- they are not identical. Depending on the environment some of these variations will help some of the offspring survive better than others. The ones that survive will produce offsprings of their own. Over time the number of offsprings with these varitions will increases and this will help the species to survive. Darwin called this process ‘natural selection’
