What is Natural Selection?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Examine exactly what is meant by natural selection, as well as how it works in nature and through the assistance of humans. Presented with fun graphics and simple narration, the complex topic of natural selection is clearly explained in eight minutes. Part of a series of videos, it can stand alone or be used with the other videos to gain a deeper understanding of the covered concepts.
