Excerpt

Lapiedra et al explain in their paper that under the controlled experiment in a natural selection individual specie has showed adaptability of behavior. Natural selection is the potency that drives the proliferation in dominance of advantageous traits, and it has played a crucial role in the development of creature as a species (Lapiedra et al., 2018). It is the concept which defined not only the differential reproduction but rather is differential reproduction. The theory of natural selection is a major component which statistically explains large populations in terms of the practical or epigenetical relationship of the genotypes of the members of species. In the case of hominid evolution, the beneficial traits of these species are likely encompassed bipedalism, speech, resistance to transmittable diseases, and other adaptations to new and varied environments.
