Show transcript
Charles Darwin suggested that all the kinds of living things that exist today developed from earlier types. Some animals and plants are more likely to survive than others. Living things that survive can reproduce to pass on characteristics to their offspring. The most useful and strongest adaptations are passed on to enable the next generation of plants or animals to survive. Survival of the fittest means organisms that are better adapted to their habitat are most likely to survive & reproduce.
