Natural selection is the process by which organisms with advantageous traits are better suited to survive and reproduce in their environment, leading to those traits becoming more common in future generations. One example of natural selection is the peppered moth, which adapted darker coloring to blend in with polluted environments during the Industrial Revolution, while lighter colored moths were more easily seen and eaten by predators. This resulted in a shift in the population towards darker moths as they had a higher chance of survival and reproduction.
