The vast majority of molecular change is adaptively neutral; therefore, natural selection does not act on these variations and the increase in certain alleles is due to chance, a phenomenon known as genetic drift.
In the struggle for survival, some individuals will be more successful than others, and these will have more and better adapted descendants.
Changes induced by the environment will cause genetic variability and will be transmitted to offspring, which will improve their adaptation to the environment.
The evolutionary unit is not the individual but the population, which is what experiences adaptation through natural selection.
