Natural Selection is the mechanism by which organisms’ characteristics change over time. It takes place due to hereditary variation creating differences in reproductive fitness. It is an important concept in teaching Biology, and is found across the AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas and other exam boards. The theory of Evolution by Natural Selection was created by British Scientist and Naturalist Charles Darwin in the 19th Century, and it we have since found many lines of evidence for evolution.
