Charles Darwin:
English Scientist
HMS Beagle - Galapagos Islands

Came up with his theory of Evolution.
"Survival of the fittest"
All species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.

Selection:
Selection:
The survival of a species.
With natural selection, this happens due to the natural development and evolution of the ecosystem. When any kind of competition occurs those that are best adapted to the new situation survive to reproduce.
With artificial selection, this happens due to human influence.
