Adapting to Environments. Through evolution, species adapt over time to become better suited to their environments.

These characteristics are passed down to subsequent generations, which also benefit from a biological advantage.

About Darwinism

Darwinism explains evolution through inherited variation, competition for limited resources, survival and reproduction of better-adapted organisms, and natural selection over generations. It is distinguished from Lamarckism because Darwin's explanation depends on selection acting on existing heritable differences, not the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
