Darwin's theory of natural selection suggests that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection, where individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these advantageous traits to their offspring. These traits become more common in the population over successive generations, leading to the adaptation and divergence of species to their environments. This mechanism explains the diversity of life on Earth and how living organisms are finely tuned to their specific habitats, with those that are better suited to their environments being more likely to survive and pass on their genes.
