Biological Beginnings 2.1 The Evolutionary Perspective Natural Selection & Adaptive Behavior Natural Selection: the evolutionary process by which individuals of a species that are best adapted are the ones that survive and reproduce Charles Darwin wrote On the Origins of Species explaining how those who survive are better adapted to the world than the nonsurvivors Adaptive Behavior: behavior that promotes an organism’s survival in the natural habitat Example: the attachment between a caregiver

showed that these organisms were related‚ but not identical. This led Darwin into believing that over time‚ organisms must adapt to suit their environment.
