yes natural selection takes place without human control. In natural selection it is the environment selecting the traits/alleles. However there is something called artificial selection which is evident in dog breeding. In that case humans select for the traits. Artificial selection can have detrimental effects on a population though. Some dogs have been selected for being very small and having a flat nose. These dogs are so small now that they cannot give birth naturally and have no use of their nasal passages

What is a beneficial feature that evolved by means of natural selection?
Your brain is one of the most important human features evolved by natural selection. ( perhaps sexual selection also had something to do with it )
In natural selection human decide which change is favorable or not true or false?
.
How can natural selection and evolution be a problem to humanity?
In many ways. For one thing, evolution and natural selection are mindless processes; they act without regard for the rights to happiness or life of the individual. On the other hand, human civilization has throughout history tried as much as possible to move away from blind forces of nature like natural selection, and as a result, human populations now may harbour many genes that would, under less civilized circumstances, have detrimental effects on human survival chances.
Are natural selection and artificial selection opposites?
No. They function through the exact same mechanisms. The only difference is what controls the environment: whether it is in human hands or left to nature.
What are farmers ideas on natural selection?
Much of "On the Origin of Species" comes from Darwin's studies of farm animals and domestic livestock. While human selection is NOT natural selection, selective breeding can be seen as an accelerated, exaggerated and unnatural version of the same process. Farmers know it works, and were, after all, the ones who started the practice thousands of years ago.
What is the application of natural selection theory to human society?
Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
Pesticide resistance in mosquitoes is an example of?
accelerated rates of natural selection due to human involvement.. natural selection caused by human intervention.
What is a beneficial feature that evolved by means of natural selection?

In natural selection human decide which change is favorable or not true or false?
.
What is the difference between artificial selection and natural selections?
natural selection occurs due to natural phenomena (e.g. changes in diet or predators).artificial selection occurs due to human generated phenomena (e.g. breeding or domestication).
Is natural selection happening in human populations?
To a very low extent, yes.
How can natural selection and evolution be a problem to humanity?

Compare and contrast natural selection and artificial selection?
Natural selection is when contemporary species rose from ancestors that survived due to their physical characteristics in their habitats. A well-known example is the Galapagos Islands and how the animals on the islands adapted to their environments. Darwin convinced the biology world that diversity in organisms came from evolution (descent without modification). Artificial selection is when humans intentionally breed animals for certain traits. Unlike natural selection, where only the fittest survive, artificial selection is for human's likings. Many crops that are grown are part of artificial selection.
Why do most species in the world go extinct?
Notincluding human intervention. Natural selection.
How did human beings come to existence according to Darwin?
According to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, human beings evolved through a process of genetic mutation and adaptation over millions of years. Through this process, early hominids gradually evolved and developed traits that resulted in the modern human species.
