The Lenski experiment with Escherichia coli is a classic here. Over twenty years natural selection selected a bacterium that could digest citrate, something wild type E. coli can not do, with the usual random mutation and selective process going on against the immediate environment. Google Lenski experiment.

What are some objections to natural selection?

Natural selection does not respect the rights of the individual. If you care for the rights of the individual - your own, for instance - you should avoid being naturally selected against. Fortunately, humans have expanded their control over their environment to such a degree that natural selection no longer has the role in our development that it has for 'wild' life forms. This makes it somewhat easier for us to consider the phenomenon of natural selection from an objective stance.

What is the relationship between Natural selection and Genetics?

Natural selection ' selects ' from among variations. Some organisms are better suited to their immediate environment and survive and out reproduce other organisms. All these organisms are genetically variant. That is the simple connection between natural selection and genetic variation. ( that variation coming about by mutation and recombination )
