There is limited supply of food and all species struggle for survival. 2. Sometimes there are mutations. 3. Some variations are more useful than others. 4. Species tend to pass on these variations to their offspring. The first point Darwin makes that all species struggle for ... existence.

His major discoveries were on ... , through natural selection, and diversified, or evolved into a number of different and "specialized" species. Darwin's laws of evolution wer...
