AnswerThe principal theory of evolution is the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, put forward by Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species.

Darwin's original theory has been refined , but it is still considered substantially true just as he described it.

A subsidiary theory of evolution, that relies on the same processes as Darwin described, but explains aspects of species that Natural Selection does not fully explain, is the Theory of Evolution by Sexual Selection. This posits that, for example, females mate with males that they find most attractive. Therefore genetic lines that provide sexually attractive features in offspring are more likely to be passed on. It is also stated, that the preference for the sexually attractive characteristic can be passed on in the females, thus reinforcing the propensity to maintain the characteristic.

Evolution is the process by which species change over time through natural selection.
