Darwin's theory of natural selection explains: O The way life began. The way evolution works at the genetic level. O The way dinosaurs became extinct. O That traits within a breeding population that are adaptive to specific environmental circumstances become more numerous in that population over time.

Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, is credited with the concept of natural selection. Evolution is the gradual alteration of a species' characteristics over time. Natural selection has a tremendous impact on evolution.

Evolution helps the population to stay alive and pass genetic information across generations. The pattern of evolution is classified into 3 types that include:

  • Divergent evolution
  • Convergent evolution
  • Parallel evolution
