He used different materials he collected and observations he made while travelling around the world on his hms. His work was then published in 1851 in a book titled origin of species . The theory of natural selection is explained in five steps as follows: all organisms produce a large number of off springs than actually can survive. Most of the off springs die or get killed. For example, a frog lays 2000 eggs, but only few of these will end up mature adult frogs. 2. the individuals or organisms that are best adapted to the environments survive.
