Detailed explanation-1: -According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The three main assumptions underlying Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection include that organisms reproduce themselves, that this process results in variations, and that some of the variations survive better than others.

This theory, which is found in psychology as well as biology, considers evolution as a necessary aspect of turning into a stronger human race.
