Natural selection is not all-powerful; it does is "good enough," you'll get some offspring into the next generationyou don't have to be perfect. This should be pretty clear just by looking at the populations around us: people may have genes for genetic diseases, plants may not have the genes to survive a drought, a predator may not be quite fast enough to catch her prey every time she is hungry. No population or organism is perfectly adapted&nbsp;

Natural selection is a process rather than as a guiding head. Natural selection is the simple result of variation, differential reproduction, and heredity &ndash; it is mindless and mechanistic. It has no goals; it's not striving to produce "progress" or a balanced ecosystem

The population or individual does not "want" or "try" to evolve, and natural selection cannot try to supply what an organism "Needs". Natural selection just selects among whatever variations exist in the population. The result is evolution

Natural selection is interpreted as a random process. The genetic variation that occurs in a population because of mutation is random and selection acts on that variation in a very random way

Because natural selection can produce amazing adaptations, it tempting to think of it as an all-powerful force, urging  organisms on, constantly pushing them in the direction of progress. Consider the following statement about natural  selection and which is least likely to be true?
