Natural selection is when the best traits for survival are picked to be passed down to further generations and become more frequent. Adaptation is an evolutionary process in which an important specific trait is evolved by a means of natural selection. Famous studies, experiments, and theories include the idea that the brain is a processing device, which was shaped by natural selection. According to this approach, the brain has evolved over time to have the ability to process more complex thought patterns and complete more difficult problems. Another theory is that most brain processes are unconscious, and even though many mental problems seem easy to solve, they are actually difficult processes, which are solved mostly unconsciously. A final idea is that humans have inherited a mental space for language making the process almost automatic. According to evolutionary psychology, the control a person has over their personality is unknown.
