Animal Adaptations Lessons and Student Activities
By Oliver Smith
Over long periods of time, living things have evolved, adapting to survive in different conditions. If an organism has an advantageous adaptation, they are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on the genetic information for this adaptation to the next generation. This idea, now known as the theory of evolution by natural selection, was defined by British scientist Charles Darwin.
