History
• Darwin proposed that evolution occurs by natural selection
• On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection published in 1859

• Darwin's theory had four parts:1. Organisms produce more offspring than can survive to
reproductive age2. Members of a population vary and some of these
variations are heritable3. Resources available to a population are limited4. Organisms with the most favorable traits have
differential reproductive success, and those traits are passed to the next generation

• Selection = when some individuals leave behind more offspring than others, and the rate at which they do so is affected by their inherited characteristics
• Selection can be artificial or natural

• Natural selection
• Natural selection is the result of differential reproduction by members of a population
• “Reproduction of the fittest!”

See? The offspring in the last
generation now all have the gene
allowing them to be resistant to the
pesticide! This is a great example of
selection!
