    populations evolve over the years through a process called natural selection. Darwin realized that in a population‚ more individuals were born than could possibly survive‚ he also recognized that the individuals that survived and reproduced were the ones with some sort of competitive advantage over rival animals‚ therefore they were more likely to pass their useful traits down to their offspring (Darwin‚ 1859). As this process of natural selection occurred for millions of years‚ these desirable traits

    reproduction of genes due to a difference in a phenotype. This makes it especially challenging when trying to explain why there can be an increase in a trait that would lead to an increase in success of another while not himself. The idea of selfish selection does just this. It says that by helping a sibling reproduce an individual will help facilitate the passing of genes that they share‚ thus helping some of its own genes pass on. This is in part due to closely related individuals sharing an amount

    means of natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is a process that is inferred from three facts about populations: 1) more offspring are produced than can possibly survive‚ 2) traits vary among individuals‚ leading to different rates of survival and reproduction‚ and 3) trait differences are heritable.[4] Thus‚ when members of a population die they are replaced by the progeny of parents that were better adapted to survive and reproduce in theenvironment in which natural selection took place

    Francis Bacon’s Four Idols vs. Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Natural Selection is the process by which biologic traits become more and less common in a population due to consistent effects upon the survival or reproduction of their bearers. Charles Darwin states that evolution is based on three traits: variation‚ adaptation and the passing of the genes. That being said‚ Francis Bacon had released his “four idol” ideas in his writing “Novum Orgum‚” which relate to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
