Who is Charles Darwin?

Natural population size tend to remain stable over time with constant resources.

Individuals within a population vary from one another in many ways. For example, their ability to withstand environmental changes, compete for resources and escape from predators.

Some traits which allow individuals to survive will be inherited from parents to offspring.

Those variation of traits will lead to reproduce more successful and adopted population.
