What is another name for natural selection?

• survival of the smartest

• survival of the fastest

• survival of the biggest

• survival of the fittest

The theory of evolution states that

• species change over time, sometimes developing into new species

• species that are extinct have no biological relationship to living species

• the environment of Earth is constant over time

• different animal species always interbreed to form new and different species
