Darwin's Theory: 1. Variation: Individuals within species show variation. 2. Inheritance: Traits are inherited from parent to offspring. 3. High Rate of Population Growth: Species produce more offspring than can survive. 4. Differential Survival and Reproduction: Individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. 5. Adaptation: Over time, advantageous traits become more common, leading to evolution.

FAQs & Answers
