Natural selection N 0100 a characteristic selection Selection forces ?
21
Selection forces Natural selection Physical environmental factors e.g weather Density-independent limiting factors Physical environmental factors e.g weather
22
Selection forces Natural selection Physical environmental factors Density-independent limiting factors Density-dependent limiting factors disease predation

But, how can “random” processes design complex structures?

But, how can “random” processes design complex structures? Isn’t this like expecting a bunch of monkeys locked in a room with typewriters to eventually type out Hamlet’s soliloquy? Actually one monkey with a computer could do it -- if it were arranged like natural selection
