Under artificial selection.

Natural selection is always stabilising. When there is great selective pressure, it could look as if it is directional, but actually, the environment has changed so much that the entire ecological system is unstable, and evolution compensates and stabilises it. There’s no direction to this compensation, but more like throwing things at the wall and see what sticks.

Only in artificial selection is there a direction.

const2013 [10]
<h2>Natural selection </h2>

Explanation:

Malthus's ideas about geometric population growth implied that: resources in every generation would be limited, therefore individuals in every generation would have to compete for those resources

  • Thomas Malthus argued that the food supply increased linearly while  population size increased exponentially
  • The central theme of Malthus' work was that population growth would always overpower food supply growth, creating perpetual states of hunger, disease, and struggle
  • The natural, ever-present struggle for survival caught the attention of Darwin, and he extended Malthus' principle to the evolutionary scheme
  • Malthus’ writings ultimately inspired Darwin’s  theory of evolution by natural selection

resources in every generation would be limited, therefore individuals in every generation would   have to compete for those resources.
