Question

charles darwins theory of evolution as written in his book on the origin of species determined that
inherited traits make people more fit to survive in society and more likely to acquire wealth.
competition among species is like competition in business: the strongest will survive.
living things evolve and change through natural selection, and the strongest traits survive over time.
all living things pass on their traits, both good and bad, which gives the next generations the will to survive.

Explanation:

Darwin's theory of evolution in On the Origin of Species posits that living - things evolve via natural selection where stronger traits survive over time. The first option misapplies evolution to social and wealth - acquisition concepts. The second option wrongly analogizes species competition to business. The fourth option is an over - simplified view. The correct understanding is that living things evolve through natural selection and the fittest traits persist.

Answer:

living things evolve and change through natural selection, and the strongest traits survive over time.
