Yes. But it probably is very slight. What we as humans have now to work with have allowed us to do the things we have done: moon landing, etc. Some people will be able to do more and so will carry us further. Natural selection occurs over very long spans of time.
There are some minor recent changes that result from natural selection on human populations that affect many of us. For instance, humans were not naturally lactose tolerant during adulthood until the keeping of domesticated animals became a widespread occupation in Eurasia, some 10.000 years ago. The trait of lactose tolerance in adults is still spreading from those first Eurasian roots. Reversely, there are some changes in human populations that may result from the *lack* of selection. Since humans change their environments to suit them, we may be able to witness degradations in the efficiency of our metabolisms, immune systems, and senses, as detrimental mutations are able to spread throughout the population. This is unlikely to result in very serious biological problems for the species, but may affect the demographies of human populations, the annual expenditure on medical care, and so on.

Does natural selection cause variety of life on earth?
Yes, natural selection causes evolution, which results in the variety of life on earth.
Does natural selection deal with only plants?
No, all life evolves. Bacteria evolve, viruses evolve, protists evolve, plants evolve, fungi evolve and animals evolve. Evolution is driven by Natural Selection. So, no. The evolution of all life on Earth is driven by Natural Selection: all bacteria, plants, animals, mammals, fish, insects, biochemical pathways, behaviours et cetera evolve by Natural Selection.
Which is not one of darwins four main ideas of natural selection?
Abiogenesis, or more commonly known as the origin of life itself, is not part of Darwin's theory of evolution.
How natural selection takes place?
simply put, only the strong will survive
How does radon and polonium affect your life?
These elements doesn't have effects on daily life.
What other theories are there except for natural selection?
Evolution by natural selection is currently the only viable theory explaining the diversity of life. However, the mechanism of natural selection is not the only mechanism to affect evolution. There are phenomena such as genetic drift, biased gene conversion, intragenomic conflict, and so on, that aren't exactly the same as natural selection (although they are all intertwined and all affect one another), but do affect the direction of evolution.
Does natural selection cause variety of life on earth?
Yes, natural selection causes evolution, which results in the variety of life on earth.
How does natural selection affect the survival of a population?
The natural selection must be near water, near woods but not too close to them, and it really depends on who is living there. People will die without the necessities of life. For example if they aren't near water, they will die from lack of water.
Where did natural selection take place?
Everywhere where there is life.
Does natural selection operate on today's society?
i believe that it does because as life goes on more and more of the weak are dying out nd soon only the strong will survive
Describe natural selection animals life recatagorize?
yes they are
How are intelligent design and natural selection alike?
They aren't. Intelligent design posits that natural selection cannot create life as we know it, and inserts a deity as the cause.
Does natural selection deal with only plants?
No, all life evolves. Bacteria evolve, viruses evolve, protists evolve, plants evolve, fungi evolve and animals evolve. Evolution is driven by Natural Selection. So, no. The evolution of all life on Earth is driven by Natural Selection: all bacteria, plants, animals, mammals, fish, insects, biochemical pathways, behaviours et cetera evolve by Natural Selection.
What are the pressures of natural selection?
Everything from available food to climate will cause the changes we see in natural selection. Random mutations occur constantly and when those mutations are beneficial for life, the genetic code is more likely to be passed on to future generations.
Which is not one of darwins four main ideas of natural selection?
Abiogenesis, or more commonly known as the origin of life itself, is not part of Darwin's theory of evolution.
