Natural selection, as has just been remarked, leads to divergence of character and to much extinction of the less improved and intermediate forms of life. On these principles, I believe, the nature of the affinities of all organic beings may be explained.It is a truly wonderful fact—the ...
I strongly suspect that some well-known laws with respect to the plumage of male and female birds, in comparison with the plumage of the young, can be explained on the view of plumage having been chiefly modified by sexual selection, acting when the birds have come to the breeding age or...

Fitness and natural selection were first explained in detail by Charles Darwin, who observed wildlife around the world, took copious notes, then sought to understand what he had seen. Natural selection is probably best explained in his words, taken from his landmark work "On the Origin of Spec...
To gain a general mechanistic understanding of trait-trait coevolution, we study the phenotypic correlations for a large number of trait pairs at the levels of mutation and long-term evolution; natural selection is inferred when the evolutionary correlation between traits cannot be fully explained by...
This is consistent with an observed lack of explanations regarding how randomly occurring mutations provide the basis for variation (and thus natural selection). The findings imply, among other things, that some components of natural selection warrant far more attention in biology teaching and science...
Natural selection can favor organisms that behave in “Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species as a whole are concepts that simply do not make evolutionary sense.” Richard Dawkins ways that improve the chances of propagating their own ...
There are other such algorithms, including genetic algorithms (GA) based on natural selection and evolution, ant colony optimization (ACO) based on the behavior of ants, and simulated annealing (SA) based on the physical properties of cooling metals. Algorithms based on natural systems are often ...
