In his 1959 work, *On the Origin of Species*, Charles Darwin described the process of natural selection, a key mechanism in evolution. Darwin observed that within a population of a given species, some individuals are better suited to their environment than others. These better-suited individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to their offspring. In the same way, Darwin noted that over generations, the traits of the best-suited individuals become increasingly common within a population. The process of natural selection explains how, over long periods of time, the diversity of life on Earth has come to be.
