Who is credited with the development of the concept of natural selection?

Charles Darwin is a renowned naturalist who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. The concept of natural selection proposes that certain individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those without those traits. As a result, over time, the advantageous traits become more common in the population, while the disadvantageous traits become less common. This process of natural selection is driven by the environment in which the organism lives, as certain traits may provide advantages in specific environments.
