Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.

In 1859, he brought the idea of natural selection to the attention of the world in his best-selling book, On the Origin of Species.
