In nature, mutation and natural selection the variation, selection, and propagation of genes that contribute to reproductive success is an autonomous process.
Instead, they should look to nature, in which random mutation and natural selection produce the features that fit an organism to its environment.
According to Darwinism, evolution largely reflects the combined action of random mutation and natural selection.
These findings show how complex functions can originate by random mutation and natural selection.
Our biological neighbors developed over time just as we did, by the evolutionary forces of mutation and natural selection.
Rather, it states: "We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.
The term refers to the art of programming software that builds itself through processes mimicking evolution's engine of mutation and natural selection.
Microbes react to harsh conditions in the Berkeley Pit by switching on genes that otherwise lay dormant or by evolving through mutation and natural selection, Mr. Stierle said.
It is this transgression — a deliberate action, not an impersonal, mechanistic process of random genetic mutation and natural selection — that determined the shape of our lives.
Such a system would act as a wormhole for evolution — a shortcut through the glum cycles of mutation and natural selection.
The creative power of evolution arises from a distinctive interaction between chance and necessity, between random mutation and natural selection.
