Natural Selection Is Not Evolution.

Natural Selection Is Not Evolution. Yet, Ever Since The Two Words Have Been In Common Use, The Theory Of Natural Selection Has Been Employed As A Convenient Abbreviation For The Theory Of Evolution By Means Of Natural Selection, Put Forward By Darwin And Wallace.

The Neutral Zone Of Selective Advantage In The Neighbourhood Of Zero Is Thus So Narrow That Changes In The Environment, And In The Genetic Constitution Of Species, Must Cause This Zone To Be Crossed And Perhaps Recrossed Relatively Rapidly In The Course Of Evolutionary Change, So That Many Possible Gene Substitutions May Have A Fluctuating History Of Advance And Regression Before The Final Balance Of Selective Advantage Is Determined.
