Abstract
Natural selection is a statistical association between phenotypes and their propensity to contribute genes to future generations, which has the potential to cause evolutionary change in populations. Such a general description permits natural selection to act across several levels of a hierarchy of phenotypes: at the genic level within individuals, at the individual level within groups, and also between groups within a species. This article examines this theory and presents some of its historical development.
