Evolution

A couple of weeks ago in science class our teacher began to talk about evolution and mutation. She said that when organisms changed to fit inside their environment or to gain an advantage over other species, that was evolution. She also said that those species who were able to evolve into superior beings than the others would undergo natural selection. This is the process by which the strongest and most capable species survives.

In the book The Selfish Gene we see how the author states “Evolution is the process by which some genes become more numerous and others less numerous in the gene pool”. (Pg 45) Here I realized that the definition given here was a lot more professional that the one our science teacher told us about. I still know that the explanation she gave was easier to understand, but this one is more complete. I read this quote again and saw that it said “genes become more numerous and others less numerous” meaning some of them, the stronger ones are selected to continue thanks to Natural Selection. Here I saw how it was all related.
