In 1859, Charles Darwin set out his theory of evolution by natural selection as an explanation for adaptation and speciation. He defined natural selection as the "principle by which each slight variation [of a trait], if useful, is preserved".
The so called hypothesis, the evolution by natural selection was formulated by Charles Darwin. The Natural Selection is an idea that was accepted generally to understand how the organisms of the earth evolved to the present context. It was Charles Darwin father of modern biology, who popularized the term “natural selection”.
Natural Selection is a practice of survival and reproduction of individuals in different environment that become a portal for the evolution by acquiring changes in the traits of the upcoming generations of that individual.
