Definition

This theory posits that organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. It explains how species change over time through natural selection.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

The video uses Darwin’s concept to explain that if human-made environmental changes (like those caused by dams) alter conditions drastically, only those capable of adapting will survive, implying that current human societies might not be able to adapt to such disruptions.
