Charles Darwin was known to propose the theory of natural selection in 1859 with the release of his book. He explained natural selection as a process in which organisms will adapt to the environment they are in, therefore, leading to evolutionary changes (Herron & Freeman, 2013, pp. 73).

Four Postulates
Postulate 3
Postulate 1
Postulate 2
Postulate 4
Non-random reproduction; most desirable traits passed along through generations
Some individuals more successful at survival and reproduction
Individuals differ from each other
Offspring inherit some genotypic variances from parents
In Darwin's theory of natural selection, he set forth these postulates. He predicted that if all of these postulates held, therefore, the population will have evolved (Herron & Freeman, 2013, pp. 77).
