Biston betularia, commonly known as the black and white moth or pepper moths, is a good example to show how natural selection influences the features of a species. Natural selection involves four key parts consisting of variation, influence of the environment, survival of the fittest and population changes. All populations have genetic variation which can be passed on. Some variations are more favourable than others, making those individuals better suited to their environment. Individuals with more favourable variations are more...

Evolution is the development of life on earth. This process began billions of years ago and is continuing to this day. Evolution tells us how the enormous diversity of life could develop.

In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744â1829) was the first to fully form an evolution theory of the transmutation of species. In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, both naturalists published...
