Natural selection holds that those living things that are
stronger and more suited to the natural conditions of their habi-
tats will survive in the struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd

under the threat of attack by wild animals, those that can run
faster will survive. Therefore, the deer herd will be comprised of
faster and stronger individuals. However, unquestionably, this
mechanism will not cause deer to evolve and transform them-
selves into another living species, for instance, horses.

Therefore, the mechanism of natural selection has no evo-
lutionary power. Darwin was also aware of this fact and had to
state this in his book The Origin of Species:

Natural selection can do nothing until favourable individual
differences or variations occur. (Charles Darwin, The Origin of
Species by Means of Natural Selection, The Modern Library,
New York, p. 127)
