Summary:
"Natural selection is the process by which random evolutionary changes are selected by nature in a consistent, orderly non-random way." This means that natural selection is the process where changes happen which are chosen by nature in an orderly way due to a change in environment, predators, etc. Natural selection was a theory proposed by Charles Darwin for a mechanism of evolution. What really shaped his theory of natural selection was Finches that he had discovered on his voyage of the HMS Beagle. It took a long time for his theory to be accepted by the scientific community, as it had taken him 15-20 years of hiding his drawings and writing on natural selection.

S&EP:
SP2: Developing and using models
This week we learned about natural selection through models like spoons, forks, and knives to learn about natural selection in an interactive way. Then we also went on a game called, Who Wants to Live a Million Years? This was a game where we could select traits to help the species survive in harsh and sudden condition. That is how I performed SP2: Developing and using models.
