is neutral with respect to the mechanism by which
inheritable changes occur in organisms (most commonly

of genomes), but proposes that those forms which have
become so modified as to be better adapted to the existing

adapted descendants, while those less perfectly adapted
have tended to die out through lack of fitness for the
environment, thus resulting in the survival of the
fittest. See Darwinism.
