This an example of directional selection

Directional selection is a type of natural selection whereby the observable traits (phenotype) such as skin color of a population evolves toward one end of a trait rather than the mean phenotype, or the opposite extreme phenotype. Directional selection usually occurs in environments that have changed over periods of time. Directional selection is caused by certain factors such as climate, weather changes, or food availability.
